周天子

春秋时期，周天子对土地的控制力已几乎完全丧失。

During the Spring and Autumn Period , the Zhou rulers almost lost their control over lands .

该邦国当时正处于母系社会时代，并可与周天子分庭抗礼。

The country was in matriarchal society at that time and had the power to oppose Zhou Dynasty .

这一时期，王室衰微，周天子没有力量继续维持统治秩序，各诸侯国以力相争，政出方伯，五霸迭兴，社会进入分裂动乱状态，这就给周边少数民族以发展的机会。

The king of Zhou had not power to keep order , the society came into the split and disorder period .

在西周土地关系问题上，周天子作为全国最高的统治者，其土地所有权无疑是最重要的一环。

As the topmost governor of Western Zhou , the kings ' land proprietorship has been the most important problem in the land relationship .

从此王室开始衰弱，在政治上和经济上都依靠一些比较强大的诸侯的支持，周天子号令天下的时代一去不复返。

Hence , relying on the support from some powerful vassals both in politics and in economy , the imperial court began to decline , and times when Zhou king controlled the country had gone forever .
