In the Romance of Gods, Zhou Wang is a dissolute and heartless image of a bad king. He boasted that da ji had harmed Zhong Liang, built a wine pool and meat forest to amuse himself, invented the punishment of burning people to punish those who opposed him, and even dug out his uncle Bigan's heart as a drug introduction. His behavior is simply outrageous.

However, later generations came to the conclusion through textual research that the real Zhou Wang was not so miserable. He was a powerful and wise SHEN WOO since he was a child. After he ascended the throne, his territory expanded to an unprecedented extent and he was a very successful king.

So why is there such a huge contrast? In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, the winner is king, the loser is a thief, and history is always written by the winner.

As we all know, the Shang dynasty was replaced by the Zhou dynasty, which respected the Shang dynasty as the patriarch before winning the world. In other words, the attack of the king of Wu was actually a kind of rebellion in history, and influenced by the culture of Shang Dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty also had the concept of the son of heaven, that is, the monarch was ordered by heaven, and the crusade was against heaven. So the Zhou Dynasty made up history in order to give itself a reason to go against the sky.
