After the destruction of the Shang Dynasty, his younger brother Zheng Shu (the eighth son of King Wen) was named Tai Zugong (now Fufeng Qishan in Shaanxi Province).

Among them, "Mao Dinggong" is the bronze ware with the longest inscription, with a total of 497 words, which describes Zhou Xuanwang's exhortation and praise to his servant Mao Gongcuo. This shows that Guo Mao in Shaanxi still existed in the late Western Zhou Dynasty. During the Zhou Dynasty, Mao Gongzi's grandson was a hereditary scholar named Shi Mao.
