From 475 BC to 22 BC1year, it was the Warring States Period in China. During the Spring and Autumn Period, after a long and fierce war for hegemony, the main vassal states were Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei and Qin, which were called "Seven Heroes of the Warring States" in history.
When he returned to Jin and ascended the throne, many followers followed him back to China. Thus, after a long struggle, the descendants of these people gradually became nobles of the State of Jin.
From 550 BC to 497 BC, the state power of Jin was in the hands of Fan, BOC, Zhao, Han, Zhi and Wei respectively. In 455 BC, there were only four nobles in Jin State: Zhi, Zhao, Wei and Han. Zhishi sent troops to attack Zhao and threatened Wei Han to send troops. After the war lasted for two years, Zhao lobbied the Wei and Han families to defect, destroy the Zhi family, carve up the Zhi land and control the state affairs of Jin.
In 438 BC, the Han, Zhao and Wei clans were divided into Jin, and Jin Yougong was only in yujiang county and Quwo. In 403 BC, King Wei Lie of Zhou made Han, Zhao and Wei the three kingdoms of Hou, and entered the Warring States Period.

The Positive Role of Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the war of feudal lords for hegemony destroyed the old order of slavery and brought disaster and pain to the people. However, the result of the war accelerated the process of reunification, promoted national integration and accelerated the pace of change.
With the growing strength of the emerging landlord class, they successively launched political reform movements in various vassal States, and the new system was finally established. Qin, the country with the most thorough political reform, became the strongest of the vassal States and later developed into a unified core force.
The coexistence of reform and hegemony war is a remarkable social situation in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It can be said that the emergence of every hegemon in the Spring and Autumn Period was the result of reform, and the coexistence of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States in China was also the result of continuous innovation.
The reason is that the war for hegemony needs political and economic backing, and reform is a necessary means to rapidly enhance the strength of vassal States. From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, reform followed closely, and war was connected with war. In the reform, the country became stronger, and in the war, China suffered. It was in this situation that society developed and progressed during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
