Zhou Dynasty - MSN Encarta (1992 words) |
 | Although the Zhou dynasty was founded in about 1027 BC, the Zhou conquest of the Shang dynasty in about 1045 BC established the Zhou as the supreme political power in China. |
| In about 1027 BC the Zhou dynasty was founded by King Wen, who increased the Zhou's influence by incorporating regions west and northwest of the Shang kingdom, thereby flanking it on two fronts. |
| Under the leadership of Duke Wen, who reigned from 636 to 628 bc, and Duke Xiang (Hsiang), who reigned from 627 to 621 bc, the Jin rule was so well organized that they were able to maintain their political domination in the Zhou world until the end of the Spring and Autumn period. |
