China's borders nearly doubled in size during the Zhou dynasty due to use of iron weapons such as crossbows and war chariots. The Zhou Dynasty is famous for ushuring in the iron age to China. The introduction of iron greatly increased economic strength in China and many believe it even was the cause of the beginining of the Period of the Warring states. The influx of money and new technology gave the individual states the needed push to begin to attack each other and build massive armies needed for fighting a war. Art in the Zhou Dynasty remained largely unchanged from that of the Shang.
