Reign of Emperors of the Zhou Dynasty (1)

King Ji Fa of Zhou Wu (?–1043 BC) reigned from 1046 BC to 1043 BC for 3 years.

Ji Fa, King wu of Zhou, was the founding monarch of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the second son of King Wen of Zhou. Because his brother Bo Yikao was killed by the King of Shang, he was able to succeed to the throne. Inheriting his father's legacy, he destroyed the Shang Dynasty in the 11th century BC, seized national power, established the Western Zhou Dynasty, showed outstanding military and political talents, and became a generation of Ming emperors in Chinese history. After his death, he was known as "Wu" (武), and was known as King Wu of Zhou.

King Ji of Zhou (1055 BC – 1021 BC) reigned 1042 BC – 1021 BC, reigned for 22 years.

King Cheng of Zhou, of Han ethnicity, surnamed Ji (姬), was the second king of Western Zhou in China.

Uncle Guan and Uncle Cai distrusted the Duke of Zhou, and blackmailed Yin Shang's descendant Wu Geng to rebel together, known in history as the "Rebellion of the Three Prisons". The Duke of Zhou was ordered by King Cheng to go on a crusade to quell the rebellion. After King Cheng grew up and personally took power, he enfeoffed the princes, strengthened the power of patriarchal rule, and ordered the public to build Luoyi (present-day western Luoyang, Henan), which later became the capital of Eastern Zhou. King Cheng also ordered the Zhou dynasty to make music and plan various rules and regulations, laying the foundation of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Zhou Gong and Zhao Gong led their divisions to conquer Huaiyi and the Yan kingdom north of Huaiyi, further expanding the scope of their rule. During the reign of the king, the society was stable, the people were harmonious, and the voices of praising the Taiping and the prosperous world were endless. The reign of King Cheng and his son King Kang, collectively known as the reign of King Cheng Kang, was the flourishing period of the Zhou Dynasty.

King Jizhao of Zhou Kang, birth and death year unknown. Han Chinese, son of King Cheng of Zhou, succeeded to the throne after the death of King Cheng, reigned for 26 years, died of illness in Hojing, and was buried in Biyuan. When Ji Zhao succeeded to the throne, Zhao Gong and Bi Gong held a solemn enthronement ceremony for him.

During Ji Zhao's reign, he constantly attacked Ghost Fang (northwestern Shaanxi Province) and southeastern provinces, plundering slaves and land and distributing them to the princes and doctors. During his reign, the national strength was strong, the world was unified, the economy and culture were prosperous, and the society was stable, and the history books recorded that "at the time of Chengkang, the world was peaceful, and the punishment was not used for more than forty years." After Ji Zhao's death, the temple name was King Kang. Later generations praised the reign of this period and the last year of King Cheng as the "rule of Cheng Kang".
