The establishment of the kingship system in Zhou Wenhua
The establishment of the autocratic monarchy system in the Western Zhou Dynasty went through a difficult process. Originally, it was a small and weak ethnic group in the Shaanxi-Gansu area, calling itself "Chopin State". Compared with Big Bang Yin, it's really a drop in the bucket. The first task of establishing the absolute monarchy system in the Western Zhou Dynasty was to eliminate merchants and unify the whole country. This important task actually laid a solid foundation in the period, prepared the conditions for the king of Wu to destroy the business, and prepared for Zhou Wenhua. "Historical Records of Zhou Benji" said: "It is because Xibo died in the public season and stood in the position of a son. Xibo said, "King Wen". Zhou Wang wrote in the book Yin Benji: "Xibochang, Jiuhou and Ehou are three fairs.

There is a good girl in Jiuhou who entered. Nine marquis women don't like prostitution, but they kill them in anger, which is nine marquis. Hubei and Hou strive for borders, distinguish diseases and protect Hubei and Hou. Xibochang heard this and sighed secretly. Chonghouhu knew about it, so as to inform him and imprison him in Xibo village. The minister of Xibo, a disciple of heaven in Fu Jian, asked for a gift from a beautiful woman, a strange object and a good horse, which was to forgive Xibo. Xibo went out and offered the land of Luoxi, seeking the punishment of branding. He made a promise, gave bows, arrows and axes, and turned the conquest into Xibo. "This record shows that Zhou people arrived, and after the capital was established, they actively developed the agriculture and animal husbandry economy, and their power continued to increase, and they were greatly dissatisfied with corruption. However, compared with the Yin Empire in the East, they are still weak and cannot reach the strength to openly confront them. However, Zhou Wenwang is an outstanding politician and strategist. He is far-sighted and talented. On the surface, he still belongs to Yin respectfully. At the same time, in order to develop himself, he adopted a series of policies to strengthen the country and enrich the people. In order to avoid Shang Zhouwang's suspicion, in view of Zhou Wang's greed and weakness for money, he and his deputies conspired to treat beautiful women as a rarity and were soon released. After Zhou Wenwang was released, he took further measures in internal affairs and military affairs. In order to strengthen himself, he formally talked with Zhou Wang about the demands caused by torture in Shang Zhouwang, proposed "offering the land of Luoxi" and asked Zhou Wang to cancel the inhuman punishment of "branding". The so-called "branding punishment" is to burn the copper rod red, and let the slaves who are dissatisfied with the rule of slave owners in Zhou Wang walk on the red-hot copper column, and set a hot oil pan below. What inhuman torture this is. After Zhou Wenwang's efforts, Shang Zhouwang agreed to this request, which greatly enhanced Zhou Wenwang's influence and prestige in various vassal states.

Because of our good deeds, we are good at uniting internal forces and advocating the social morality of "land to the tiller and declining folk customs", our national strength and prestige are getting higher and higher, setting an example for neighboring small countries, and many small countries are willing to learn Zhou and submit to Zhou. Small countries not far away, such as Yu and Rui, are in conflict with each other because of land issues. "If there is a prison, it's like a week," Zhou Wenwang was asked to solve it. However, when they entered the Zhou Dynasty and saw the scene that Zhou people gave each other land, and everyone respected the old and loved the young, they were ashamed to think that the contradiction between them was a shame, and they understood each other, even without seeing Xibo (), and both sides gave up automatically. This shows that Zhou Wenwang has managed the country well and touched the small countries around it. In addition, Zhou Wenwang inherited the advantages of Gong Liu, Gu Gong, Wang Ji and other ancestors, respected the old and cared for the young, and various forces in the United Nations made many wise people turn to him and become his right-hand man. For example, the story that he personally greeted Jiang Taigong (Jiang Ziya) is well known and is still worshipped by the public today. It is precisely because of Zhou Wenwang's kindness, respect for the elderly and kindness. The sages under the ceremony, Japanese and China people don't have enough to eat for the scholars, so "the scholars pay them back." Even many important people who were officials in the Yin Dynasty defected to Zhou, such as Xin Jia, who was originally a minister of Yin. He gave advice to the king of Yin seventy-five times, but Yin Zhou didn't listen. After learning this, Wang Wen greeted Zhao Gong personally, made the Xin family public, and made him join the Party in Changbo (that is, Shaanxi). So many talented people are willing to serve Zhou Wenwang. This is one of the important reasons why Zhou Wenwang won the hearts of the people and expanded his power.
