Spring and Autumn period was a period in Chinese history from approximately 771 to 476 BC which corresponds roughly to the first half of the Eastern Zhou period. The period's name derives from the Spring and Autumn Annals, a chronicle of the state of Lu between 722 and 479 BC, which tradition associates with Confucius.
Jin, originally known as Tang (唐), was a major state during the middle part of the Zhou dynasty, based near the centre of what was then China, on the lands attributed to the legendary Xia dynasty: the southern part of modern Shanxi. Although it grew in power during the Spring and Autumn period, its aristocratic structure saw it break apart when the duke lost power to his nobles. In 453 BC, Jin was split into three successor states: Han, Zhao and Wei. The Partition of Jin marks the end of the Spring and Autumn Period and the beginning of the Warring States period.
Qin was an ancient Chinese state during the Zhou dynasty. Traditionally dated to 897 B.C., it took its origin in a reconquest of western lands previously lost to the Rong; its position at the western edge of Chinese civilization permitted expansion and development that was unavailable to its rivals in the North China Plain. Following extensive "Legalist" reform in the 3rd century BC, Qin emerged as one of the dominant powers of the Seven Warring States and unified the seven states of China in 221 BC under Qin Shi Huang. The Qin Dynasty it established was short-lived but greatly influenced later Chinese history.

The Siege of Jerusalem was a military campaign carried out by Nebuchadnezzar II, king of Babylon, in 597 BC. In 605 BC, he defeated Pharaoh Necho at the Battle of Carchemish, and subsequently invaded Judah.

King Gong of Chu was from 590 to 560 BC the king of Chu, a major power during the Spring and Autumn period of ancient China.

However, in 575 BC King Gong was defeated by Chu's archrival Jin in the Battle of Yanling and Chu's power declined. He ruled for 31 years and was succeeded by his eldest son, King Kang of Chu.

Han Jue, posthumously known as Han Xianzi, was the fifth head of the House of Han and a Jin politician and general. He was the son of Ziyu of Han. Han Jue's father died early and he was raised by Zhao Dun (赵盾), a senior Jin minister. Han Jue later became sima (司马), the minister of war, on Zhao Dun's recommendation. As sima, Han participated in the Battle of Bi and the Battle of An. According to the Zuozhuan, Ziyu appeared to Han Jue in a dream the night before the Battle of An and warned him not to ride in the left or right side of the chariot to avoid being killed by Duke Qing of Qi. During the battle, the soldiers to Han Jue's left and right were shot by arrows. In 583 BC, he supported Zhao Dun's grandson, Zhao Wu (赵武), to head the House of Zhao. In the Battle of Masui, Han commanded the Jin left wing. During the Battle of Yanling, he again commanded the Jin left wing and led a successful flanking maneuver against Chu. In 573 BC, he became Jin's zhengqing (正卿), the highest ministerial office in Ancient China. Han Jue retired in 566 BC due to old age.
