The Zheng family of Xingyang 滎陽鄭氏 claim descent from the Zhou dynasty Kings via the rulers of the State of Zheng. The rulers of the Zhou dynasty were titled Wáng ( 王 ), which is normally translated into English as "king" and was also the Shang term for their rulers. Around 1046 BC, Wen's son Wu and his ally Jiang Ziya led an army of 45,000 men and 300 chariots across the Yellow River and defeated King Zhou of Shang at the Battle of Muye, marking the beginning of the Zhou dynasty. Scholars use this event to divide the history of the Zhou dynasty into two periods: the Western Zhou (1122-771 BCE) and the Eastern Zhou (771-256 BCE). The Zhou Dynasty had formally collapsed only 35 years earlier, although the dynasty had had only nominal power at that point. In this period, the Zhou court had little control over its constituent states that were at war with each other until the Qin state consolidated power and formed the Qin dynasty in 221 BC. The Zhou Dynasty Military The Zhou Dynasty (1045 BC - 256 BC) followed the overthrew the Shang dynasty, proclaiming they had become corrupt and hedonistic. The Shang dynasty was abolished by the Zhou dynasty, which led to the starting of a new era of warfare in the military of ancient China.

During the Zhou dynasty, the origins of native Chinese philosophy developed, its initial stages beginning in the 6th century BC. The Zhou dynasty persisted in a much reduced state through the turmoil of the following periods, Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, until finally dropping the title King of China after Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor was successful conquering the different warring states. His reign marked the transition to a new phase in ancient Chinese history. This state was Qin, and it was the founder of the Qin dynasty who therefore became the First Emperor of China, in 221 BCE.
That period known in ancient Chinese history as the Zhou dynasty had begun. Although the dynasty lasted longer than any other in Chinese history, the actual political and military control of China by the Zhou dynasty's ruling family only lasted during the first half of the period, which scholars call the Western Zhou (1046-771 BCE). The military control of China by the royal house, surnamed Ji ( Chinese : 姬 pinyin : Jī ), lasted initially from 1046 until 771 BC for a period known as the Western Zhou and the political sphere of influence it created continued well into Eastern Zhou for another 500 years. Warfare in China had become endemic during the Spring and Autumn Period (722 BC 481 BC) as states broke away from the Zhou and consolidated their power.Relocation of civilization centers in ancient China: Environmental factors.
