During the reign of Shang Zhouwang in Shang Dynasty, the territory of Shang Dynasty was very vast, which not only extended its influence to the south, but also conquered the tribes in Dongyi. At that time, the Zhou dynasty belonged to a tribe of Shang dynasty, but its power was greater than that of Shang dynasty. According to historical records, Zhou Wuwang divided the whole country into two thirds, that is, two thirds of the vassal states belonged to the Zhou Dynasty. The fatuous emperor of Shang Dynasty is the only impression that everyone gives to Shang Dynasty. Even though Shang Zhouwang of Shang Dynasty was a wise ruler, he was doomed to perish.

After the fall of Shang Zhouwang, the king appointed Zhou Wang's son to protect the land of Shang Dynasty. However, the rebellion broke out in the Sanjian Rebellion. After this rebellion, Shang Zhouwang's descendants basically withdrew from the historical stage, and it was Zhou Wang's political opponents who stepped onto the historical stage. In order to show his obedience to God's will, King Zhou naturally vilified Shang Zhouwang and deliberately showed that the invasion of Shang Zhouwang was God's will, but this did not mean that he was a good emperor.

Shang Zhouwang is an emperor who likes to conquer, but his conquest is very bad for his reputation. If Shang Zhouwang was a good emperor, how could a courtier betray him? Therefore, it was Shang Zhouwang's brutality and belligerence that led to the rise of the Zhou Dynasty, and various vassal states betrayed the Shang Dynasty and defected to the Zhou Dynasty.

The decline of the Shang Dynasty was not only the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, but actually began a long time ago. Shang Zhouwang is poor and weak, while Shang Zhouwang is a monarch. He wanted to change this situation, so he constantly expanded his territory, but in many ways it eventually led to his notoriety and some ministers who opposed him, and finally led to internal struggles in the court, and finally failed to become a vassal state of the Zhou Dynasty. In this case, Zhou Wuwang took this opportunity to attack and destroy the Shang Dynasty. It is precisely because Shang Zhouwang was not very good on the one hand, and his enemies and enemies later mastered the right to write history that he gradually became known as Shang Zhouwang.
