Detailed explanation-1: -At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty’s rule, the Duke of Zhou, a regent to the king, held a lot of power, and the king rewarded the loyalty of nobles and generals with large pieces of land. Delegating regional control in this way allowed the Zhou to maintain control over a massive land area.
Detailed explanation-2: -As their power grew, the warlords claimed to be kings in their own territory. Without the loyalty and protection of their feudal nobles, the Zhou Dynasty weakened.
Detailed explanation-3: -Wen of the Zhou led a rebellion against the Shang for control of China, positioning himself and his family to become the new rulers. This revolution was eventually successful under Wen’s son, King Wu, who became recognized as the first king of the Zhou Dynasty.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Mandate of Heaven did not require a ruler to be of noble birth, and had no time limitations. Instead, rulers were expected to be good and just in order to keep the Mandate. The Zhou claimed that their rule was justified by the Mandate of Heaven.
