The Zhou Dynasty lasted longer than any dynasty in Chinese history. There was much work done with bronze and iron during this time. Both Con Fuzi (founder of Confucianism) and Lao Tzu (founder of Daoism) lived under Zhou rule. Huge gains were made in agriculture (tools, irrigation, canal, distribution and storage to combat famine).
