King Wen of Zhou
King Wen of Zhou (; 1152 1056 BC) was king of Zhou during the late Shang dynasty in ancient China. Although it was his son Wu who conquered the Shang following the Battle of Muye, King Wen was honored as the founder of the Zhou dynasty. A large number of the hymns of the ''Classic of Poetry'' are praises to the legacy of King Wen. Some consider him the first epic hero of Chinese history.〔Wang, C.H. ''From Ritual to Allegory. Seven Essays in Early Chinese Poetry,'' p. 58. The Chinese Univ. Press (Hong Kong), 1988).〕
==Biography==
Born Ji Chang (), Wen was the son of Tai Ren and Ji Jili, the king of a small state along the Wei River in present-day Shaanxi. His father was betrayed and executed by the Shang emperor Wen Ding in the late 12th century BC.
He married Tai Si and had at least ten sons.
At one point, King Zhou of Shang, fearing Wen's growing power, imprisoned him in Youli (present-day Tangyin in Henan).〔Cihai, p. 201.〕 However, many officials respected Wen for his honorable governance and they gave King Zhou so many gifts including gold, horses, and women that he released Wen, who subsequently planned to overthrow King Zhou but died before he could accomplish it. His second son, King Wu, followed his father's wishes and crushed the Shang at Muye, creating the imperial Zhou dynasty.
