The Shang Dynasty was an unprecedented prosperity - Wuding Zhongxing

Wuding Zhongxing refers to the period during the reign of King Wuding of the Shang Dynasty, when the country was strong, the politics were clear, and the people were rich. King Wuding of the Shang Dynasty was a man of few men and women, such as Ganpan, Fu Shuo, Poultry Dagger, daughter Xiaochentuo, and Queen Lady Hao; he annexed 81 enemy states such as Tufang, Xiqiang, Gongfang, Ghost Fang, and Hufang, divided many new princely states, spread The Yin Shang culture to the Yangtze River Valley, and strengthened the integration with the various ethnic groups in the northwest; oracle bone and jin scripts were used in large quantities, and jade inscriptions began to appear; plate buildings and copper-tin-lead ternary alloys were invented, and large tracts of wasteland were reclaimed. Hetian Yu was even found in the tomb of Lady Hao, which shows that the influence of the Yin people at that time had reached the Western Regions. This became the most prosperous period of the Shang Dynasty. Therefore, the history books refer to the 59 years of Wuding's reign (1250 BC - 1192 BC) as the "Prosperous Age of Wuding".

In ancient Chinese legends, shennong, the Yellow Emperor, Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang and others often mention the great contributions made to the development of the Chinese nation, but modern archaeology cannot confirm the specific deeds of these figures. "Wu Ding" is also mentioned many times in pre-Qin texts, often referred to as "Gaozong", but it has never been valued by historians.

With the continuous archaeology of the Shang Dynasty, people gradually discovered that Wuding had an indelible contribution to the economic development, cultural progress and territorial expansion of ancient China, surpassing any monarch in the pre-Qin period.
