TrTranslation
周轍東，王綱墜，逞干戈，尚遊說。
When Zhou moved its capital east, the king's authority collapsed. Men trusted in shield and spear and prized the travelling persuaders.
始春秋，終戰國，五霸強，七雄出。
It began with the Spring and Autumn and ended with the Warring States: the Five Hegemons grew strong, and the Seven Powers arose.
嬴秦氏，始兼併，傳二世，楚漢爭。
The Ying house of Qin was the first to swallow up all the states. It passed to a second emperor, and then Chu and Han fought for the realm.
Draft translation; it will be revised when the lecture is filmed.
From the Father's Lecture Notes
The eight-hundred-year Zhou of the last lecture was, in its second half, really in pieces. “The king's authority collapsed” means the Son of Heaven was still there but no one obeyed him. It stayed in pieces for five hundred years until Qin gathered it into one. This lecture is about going from scattered to united.
Translated from Yikonglu's Father's Lecture Notes for the Three Character Classic, written for a parent teaching a child.
