Dì Xīn (帝辛) was the last king of the Shang Dynasty. His given name was 紂 (Zhòu), and he is therefore also called Zhou Xin (紂辛 Zhòu Xīn) or Zhou Wang (紂王Zhòu Wáng). King Zhou could also be referred to by adding Shang (商 Shāng) in front of any of his names. Shang Dynasty (Chinese: åæ) or Yin Dynasty (殷代) (1600 BC - 1046 BC) is the first historic Chinese dynasty and ruled in the northeastern region of China proper. ...
In the Records of the Grand Historian (史記 ShiJi), Sima Qian 司馬遷 wrote that Di Xin in the early part of his reign had abilities which surpassed the ordinary man, and was quick-witted and quick-tempered. He was the younger brother of WeiZi 微子 and WeiZhong 微仲 (who were both born of a concubine) and father of WuGeng 武庚 and LuFu 祿父. His father Di Yi 帝乙 had two brothers, JiZi 箕子 and BiGan 比干. Di Xin added to the territory of Shang by battling the tribes surrounding it, including the YiRen 夷人 to the east, otherwise known as the East Yi Dongyi 東夷. The Records of the Grand Historian or the Records of the Grand Historian of China (Chinese: å²è¨; pinyin: ; Wade-Giles: Shih-chi; literally Historical Records) was the magnum opus of Sima Qian, in which he recounted Chinese history from the time of the mythical Yellow Emperor until his own time. ...

His uncle Bigan similarly remonstrated with him, but Di Xin had his heart ripped out so he could see what the heart of a sage looked like. When his other uncle JiZi heard this, he went to remonstrate with the kingly nephew and, feigning madness, was imprisoned.
When Zhou defeated Shang, King Di Xin of the Shang set light to his palace and committed suicide.

Ibu Zhao Xin melihat polisi preman tidak mengizinkan tamu yang di luar masuk ke dalam ruangan, lalu menangis menyatakan tidak dapat menerimanya, harus membiarkan semuanya masuk.
When DiXin came to a temple of Nüwa (女媧;女娲), an ancient Chinese goddess, and perform his worship, he noticed that the Nüwa statue was very tempting.
Foretelling that DiXin would be the last emperor of the Shang dynasty, she sent a one-thousand-year-old fox spirit, a nine-headed pheasant, and a jade-made Pipa spirit to lure DiXin and render him unaware of his people, which indirectly resulted in the uprising of Zhou and made the decline of Shang more reasonable.
DiXin obliged King Wu of Zhou to stay in You (i.e.
