The Three-Charactor Scripture

周共和，始纪年。

周朝的共和时期开始了中国有统一纪年的历史。

大约在公元前841年，西周的周厉王因为暴政被赶出京城，他的继承人周宣王年幼，于是由朝中的大臣周公和召公共同执政，史称“共和执政”或“周召共和”。在共和执政之前，中国的历史年代记载非常混乱，缺乏统一的标准，很难精确知道某件事发生在哪一年。而“共和”元年（公元前841年）成为了一个明确的分界点，从此以后，历代王朝的历史年代就有了相对连续和可靠的记载。因此，这句话表明，从周朝的共和时期开始，中国历史才有了可以连续追溯的、比较准确的纪年系统，这对于后世研究历史、编撰史书具有极其重要的意义。

历宣幽，遂东迁。

经历了周宣王和周幽王时期，周朝都城被迫从西边迁到了东边。

周宣王在位时，虽然一度试图恢复周天子的权威，但周朝内部的衰落和外部的压力已经显现，他的统治并未能扭转颓势，史称“宣王中兴”实则难掩危机。继位的周幽王更是荒淫无道，宠信褒姒，为取悦褒姒而烽火戏诸侯，失信于天下。最终，他废嫡立庶，引发诸侯叛乱，犬戎趁机攻破西周的都城镐京（今西安附近），杀死周幽王。虽然后来诸侯拥立了周幽王的儿子周平王，但周朝实力大损，已无力控制西部广大地区。公元前770年，在晋、郑等诸侯的护卫下，周平王将都城东迁至洛邑（今洛阳），东周时期自此开始。这次东迁标志着西周的结束和东周的开始，也象征着周天子权威的进一步衰落。
