Weeks replaced business, and society progressed. Merchants often engaged in martyrdom in sacrifices and did not treat people as human beings. The Zhou people proposed that "fate is constant, but virtue is auxiliary", which means that there is a mandate of heaven and the ruler's own virtue to cooperate. The rulers know to talk about morality and benevolence. Culture is also progressing, and the number of words appearing on bronze is increasing, and the fonts and layouts are becoming more and more beautiful. Words gradually became art.
The development of the Western Zhou Jinwen in the exhibition "Zhaozi China - Bronze Ware and Golden Essence Unearthed in Baoji" held at the Guobo was divided into four stages: the early Wucheng period, the Kangzhao period, the middle Western Zhou dynasty and the late Western Zhou Dynasty. It can be seen that Jin Wen changed from the "absolute" pictogram of the late Shang to the elegance, regularity and "long talk" of the later period.
