Research Abstract	The purpose of this study is to clarify the feature of the society of the age of Spring and Autumn. The study material is based on the bronze ware excavated from the grave. The bronze ware from the first term on the age of Spring and Autumn to the mid-term first half succeeds to the feature at the West Zhou period, and lacks the regionality. But when becoming the mid-term latter half in the age of Spring and Autumn, the regionality becomes remarkable. In the background, there was a political division. However, changing the bronze ware was shared across the region. There was a shared standard in the background in spite of a political division. The age of Spring and Autumn is thought to be a root society that sat by gradual integration by such a standard.
