Zhou is the transliteration of a common Chinese family name 周. It could also be spelt as Chau, Chou, Jhou, Joe or Chow. Zhou can be a rare Chinese family name 洲.
The Chou had learned from their own successful usurpation of Shang power: much of the Chou success was due primarily to their winning-over of disaffected city-states against the Shang.
The Chou king was killed, but his son, the heir to the throne, fled to Loyang and established his government there.
For it is during the reign of the Eastern Chou that the greatest philosophers established the rudiments of Chinese philosophy, ethics, political theory, and culture.
In 1958 Chou was appointed to the faculty of the University of Illinois.
Chou's distinctive style is determined as much by his self-imposed limitations as by his sensitivity to the fine nuances of tone, color, and rhythm.
Chou indicates in specific detail the manner of striking a drum; sometimes he instructs the player to lay a tambourine or a bass drum flat in order to disperse and dampen the sound.
