周显王 / King Xian of Zhou

周显王 / King Xian of Zhou appears in 《资治通鉴·周纪》10丨 以家族单位 有蚂蚁吃大象的精神（3） as the younger brother and successor of 周烈王 after Zhou Lie Wang dies in 369 BCE.

《资治通鉴·周纪》11丨 世界风起云涌（1） makes Zhou Xian Wang the main annalistic frame. The episode says the second Zhou-annals volume covers his full forty-eight-year reign from 368 BCE to 321 BCE and opens with Qi, Zhao, Wei, Han, Song, and Qin fighting across several fronts.

《资治通鉴·周纪》11丨 世界风起云涌（2） continues that frame into his seventh year, 362 BCE. The year combines 魏国’s defeat of 韩国 and 赵国, Qin’s victory over Wei at 少梁, 卫国 and 燕国 successions, and the accession of 秦孝公.

《资治通鉴·周纪》12丨 公孙鞅求职路上的拉关系 走后门 continues the frame into his eighth year, 361 BCE. The episode centers 秦孝公’s recruitment edict and 公孙鞅 / 商鞅’s route from ignored Wei subordinate to Qin adviser through 景监, making the year the immediate personnel bridge into 商鞅变法.

The page is source-scoped. Zhou Xian Wang matters here as the annalistic frame for the episode’s real political action: the 魏国 succession war and the failed 韩国-赵国 settlement after 浊泽之战.

In the Zhouji 11 source, he also performs a symbolic action: after 秦献公 wins the Battle of Shimen, Zhou Xian Wang grants 黻服, which the host reads as ritual recognition of military power.

《资治通鉴·周纪》13丨 公孙鞅苛刻变法惹杀身（1） keeps him as the annalistic frame for the next Qin turn. The episode notes that 360 BCE has no chronicle entry, then moves to 359 BCE as 秦孝公 backs 公孙鞅 / 商鞅 and 商鞅变法 begins to reshape Qin.

《资治通鉴·周纪》14丨齐威王 不鸣则已一鸣惊人 continues his frame through 358-356 BCE. The episode records Qin-Han war, Wei wall-building, Qin-Chu marriage diplomacy, Wei-Han and multi-state meetings, and a Qi Wei Wang chronology dispute in which a received Zhou-court visit cannot be to 周烈王 if that ruler is already dead.

《资治通鉴·周纪》15丨酒不醇引发的世界大战 continues the frame through 355-354 BCE. The episode combines 齐威王’s 以贤臣为宝 answer to 魏惠王, 秦孝公’s failed Duping meeting and 少梁 sequel, 鲁共公’s death and 鲁康公’s accession, and the 鲁酒薄而邯郸围 setup for 邯郸.

《资治通鉴·周纪》16丨孙膑庞涓恩怨纠葛 桂陵之战 continues his annalistic frame into 353 BCE. The year combines 桂陵之战 and 围魏救赵, 韩国’s attack on 东周国, and 楚国’s appointment of 昭奚恤 as chancellor.

《资治通鉴·周纪》17丨韩昭侯和申不害 continues the frame through 352-350 BCE. The cluster links Qin’s attacks on Wei, Wei’s reconciliation with Zhao and Qi, 申不害’s Han service under 韩昭侯, 商鞅变法 moving into a second round, and 赵成侯’s death followed by Zhao succession conflict.

《资治通鉴·周纪》18丨中国历史上第一例人头税 continues the frame through 349-343 BCE. The episode records 公孙鞅 / 商鞅’s likely 人头税 reform, 赵范’s failed surprise attack on 邯郸, 鲁康公’s death and 鲁景公’s accession, 卫国’s demotion, and the paired royal-status signals of 诸侯会于京师 and 王致伯于秦.

《资治通鉴·周纪》19丨马陵之战 continues the frame into 341 BCE after a blank 342 BCE notice. The year brings 马陵之战 through 魏国’s attack on 韩国, 齐国’s delayed rescue decision, and 孙膑’s plan to exploit 庞涓 through 急行军作战风险.

《资治通鉴·周纪》20丨庞涓死此树下 completes that 341 BCE Maling notice through outcome rather than setup. 孙膑 uses 减灶诱敌, Pang Juan dies in the ambush, 齐国 breaks 魏国, and 太子申 is captured.

《资治通鉴·周纪》22丨公孙鞅诈魏公子卬 continues his frame into 340 BCE, Zhou Xian Wang’s twenty-ninth year. The episode records 公孙鞅 / 商鞅 attacking Wei, Qi and Zhao also attacking Wei, and 楚宣王’s death, but its substantive reading focuses on Qin exploiting Wei’s weakness and capturing 公子卬 / 公子昂.

《资治通鉴·周纪》23丨魏惠王 悔不用公叔之言 carries that frame through 340-338 BCE. The episode completes the Qin-Wei outcome, notes 339 BCE as blank, and uses 338 BCE for 秦孝公’s death, 嬴驷’s succession, and Shang Yang’s fall.

《资治通鉴·周纪》27丨围观魏惠王和齐威王是咋商业互捧 continues the frame into Zhou Xian Wang’s thirty-fourth and thirty-fifth years, 335-334 BCE. The episode records 秦国 taking 宜阳 from 韩国, then centers 徐州相王 between 齐威王 and 魏惠王 / 梁惠王 as a post-Maling diplomatic reordering.

《资治通鉴·周纪》28丨韩昭侯的快乐你想象不到 extends the same thirty-fifth-year and thirty-sixth-year frame. The source develops 韩昭侯’s high gate, 屈宜臼’s 时绌举赢 warning, 越王无疆’s failed anti-Qi move, and the post-Xuzhou attack on Qi by 楚威王. It also says the chronicle’s 333 BCE narrative weight is about to shift toward 苏秦 and 张仪.

《资治通鉴·周纪》29丨苏秦励志爽文：知识改变命运 develops that thirty-sixth-year frame through succession notices and source criticism. The episode records Han, Qi, Yan, and Wei successions, but treats the Qi notice and Su Qin’s sudden six-state 合纵 success as doubtful chronology, linking them to 编年错位.

《资治通鉴·周纪》30丨苏秦的“开挂”人生 keeps Zhou Xian Wang in the Su Qin biography as a failed first target after renewed study. The episode says familiar local observers around the Zhou ruler do not take 苏秦 seriously, using the case to show that 揣摩 still needs a receptive audience and enough distance from old reputation.

《资治通鉴·周纪》31丨合纵连横 围殴秦 continues the same thirty-sixth-year Su Qin branch. The episode shifts from failed local persuasion and Yan backing to Zhao authorization for 合纵, Qin’s attack on Wei, and the setup that sends 张仪 into Qin.

《资治通鉴·周纪》32丨“史上首位联合国秘书长”苏秦 keeps the same Zhou Xian Wang thirty-sixth-year frame while completing Su Qin’s hezong tour. The episode also uses 《史记》 for a later homecoming scene in which Zhou Xian Wang receives Su Qin at 洛阳 / 洛邑 after his six-state success.

《资治通鉴·周纪》33丨历史第一爽文男主角苏秦 expands that reception scene. Zhou Xian Wang’s road-clearing and ceremonial welcome make Su Qin’s rank publicly legible in Luoyang, which is why the episode can read his family’s later deference as 前倨后恭 rather than only private reconciliation.

《资治通鉴·周纪》34丨秦国总理如何玩转六国 continues his annalistic frame through 332-328 BCE. The episode records Qin’s use of 犀首公孙衍 against the hezong arrangement, Wei’s repeated territorial concessions, 楚怀王’s accession after 楚威王, 宋君偃’s coup against 宋剔成, and 张仪’s rise after the 蒲阳 and 上郡 exchange.

《资治通鉴·周纪》35丨历史上第一骑兵教父是他？ continues the frame through Zhou Xian Wang’s forty-second and forty-third years. The episode records 秦国’s partial victory over 义渠, Qin’s return of 焦邑 and 曲沃 to 魏国, 赵肃侯’s death in 326 BCE, and 赵武灵王’s accession gestures.

《资治通鉴·周纪》36丨卫嗣君的帝王之术 continues the frame into Zhou Xian Wang’s forty-fourth year, 324 BCE. The episode records 秦惠文王 claiming kingly title and the death of 卫平侯, then develops 卫嗣君’s escaped-prisoner story and a 《战国策》 supplement around 武夏.

《资治通鉴·周纪》37丨苏秦：六国集团CEO的不堪情史 continues the frame across his forty-fifth and forty-sixth years, 324-323 BCE. The episode records 张仪 attacking Wei and taking 陕城, 苏秦 entering Qi after leaving Yan, Zhang Yi’s meeting with Qi and Chu ministers at 啮桑, Han and Yan rulers claiming kingship, 赵武灵王 refusing royal title, and 犀首公孙衍 beginning anti-Qin alliance work from Wei.

《资治通鉴·周纪》38丨搞兼职的张仪不一般 continues the late-reign branch into the forty-seventh-year frame, around 322 BCE. It centers 张仪 as chief minister in 魏国, Qin’s attack on 曲沃 and 平州, and a 《战国策》 supplement involving 秦武王, 齐湣王, and 冯喜. The episode’s contribution is both strategic and source-critical: Zhang Yi’s 阴谋阳谋转换 sits inside an unstable source-layer problem.

《资治通鉴·周纪》39丨历史上张仪是怎样怒怼强敌的 closes the same forty-seventh-year frame by following Zhang Yi’s position inside 魏国. 秦惠文王’s favor keeps Zhang Yi oriented toward Qin, Zhang Yi defeats 惠施 / 惠师 in a Wei court struggle, and 陈枕’s attempted entry into Wei becomes a 因事立道式政治转身 back toward Chu. The episode explicitly says the next material will enter Zhouji 2’s final year.

《资治通鉴·周纪》40丨5月出生的孩子惹谁啦？ completes that final-year promise. In 321 BCE, Zhou Xian Wang’s forty-eighth year, the source records his death and the succession of 周慎靓王 / 周慎亮王. The episode then pairs that royal handoff with 燕易王’s death and 燕王哙’s accession before developing the 田婴 and 孟尝君 / 田文 branch in 齐国.

《资治通鉴·周纪》44丨一个公司为什么不能有两位CEO？ returns to the same forty-eighth-year frame through a 《战国策》 story about 韩宣惠王 and joint chief ministers. The host explicitly notes that the source does not explain why Sima Guang placed it here, so this page treats the episode as a source-selected governance lesson inside the final-year frame rather than as a firmly dated event.
