This is a family tree of Chinese monarchs during the Spring and Autumn period.

Family trees of Chinese monarchs (ancient) (Warring States period) (early) (middle) (late)

The Spring and Autumn period was a period in Chinese history from approximately 770 to 476 BC (or according to some authorities until 403 BC^[a])^[2] 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 BCE, which tradition associates with Confucius (551–479 BCE).
