Best Answer

The Zhou Dynasty of China succeeded the Shang Dynasty and preceded the Qin Dynasty. It was founded by King Wu, the second son of King Wen of Zhou, following an attack on the Shang leaders in 1048 B.C. which, according to Chinese legends, culminated in a decisive victory in the Battle of Muye. Traditionally, 1122 B.C. marked the founding date of the Zhou dynasty, but more recent evidence suggests a date of 1046 B.C. For a historical account, see The Cambridge History of Ancient China (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1999), 310-11.
