King Wen of Zhou, also known as Zhou Wen Wang or 周文王, is revered as the founder of the The Zhou Dynasty (c. 1046 BC–256 BC) in China. He fought against the last king of Shang, who is known for his cruelty and tyranny.
King Wen of Zhou had liberated about two thirds of the whole territories of Shang from tyranny before he died. He was renowned for his virtue, wisdom, and governance, which laid the groundwork for his son, King Wu of Zhou, to overthrow the Shang Dynasty.
King Wu of Zhou is famous for defeating the tyrannical Shang dynasty at the Battle of Muye and founded the Zhou Dynasty, which is the longest-lasting dynasty in ancient China. King Wu of Zhou is revered by later generations as a wise king, a co-founder king and a hero.
Recently, I invited GOD Michael, King Wen of Zhou, King Wu of Zhou and other gods to my meditation to ask about the Zhou dynasty in China. GOD Michael commented that both King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou had contact with him and that both of them are gods.
King Wen of Zhou commented that the rulers of the Shang dynasty were backed by Satan, invaded Zhong Guo and treated the Chinese people with cruelty. Lots of Chinese people literally became slaves. GOD Micheal helped him and his son win the war against the Shang Dynasty. I asked whether they were related to Xuanyuan Huangdi and he commented that they were the direct descendants many many generations later of Xuanyuan Huangdi.
Since there are few writing records about the Shang dynasty, I asked whether the rulers of Shang had written language. King Wen of Zhou commented that the rulers of Shang were from the ancient barbarian tribe that Chiyou was from. (they were likely the rulers of the ancient Miao tribe; today’s ordinary Miao people could be very different from the ancient Miao many thousands years ago.) These rulers themselves didn’t have written language but they absorbed the ancient Chinese written language from Zhong Guo, which was the confederation of the ancient Chinese tribes, and some few words from the nomadic tribes in the steppes. Therefore, the Shang Dynasty did have writing records but due to Satan’s distortion, the records were either distorted or destroyed by later rulers to deceive the Chinese people. (Most Chinese people still think Shang rulers were from the Han/Chinese group today.)

I found below picture online and asked, King Wu of Zhou commented that below looked more like him without the hat and the hair was tided up as hair bun with a Zan(a long hairpin), signifying ONE .

A Side Note: for those who are not familiar with Chinese last names, the current English translation for the Chinese last names is purely by pronunciation not by its meaning. One pronunciation in Chinese last name could have many different meanings and words as the Chinese language is hierographs. For example “Li” could be “李“ , “利” , “历”, one can not tell which family name it is by using English unless one sees the Chinese Characters.

A Side Note About The Shang Dynasty In China:
After reviewing some archaeological evidence, I summarized a few things about the Shang dynasty:
1.The Shang rulers were famous for making human sacrifices up to thousands of persons at a time. The archaeological evidence showed that these sacrifices were slaves or captives of Han/Chinese people. The Chinese people in Zhong Guo didn’t have the tradition of making human sacrifice.
2.The turtle bones or oxen scapulimancy inscriptions show that when the Shang rulers worshipped ancestors, they worshiped their own ancestors instead of Xuanyuan Huangdi. (GOD Michael commented that burning the turtle shells was a way of divination influenced by Satan. )
3. A late Shang capital, the Yinxu (Ruins of Yin) site, showed that the Shang rulers worshiped dragons. Their square bronze dings used for worship usually engraved with snakes or monsters showed that they were not of the Han/Chinese and not of Hu. Before this dynasty, people only use round Ding.
4. The totem of the Shang was the Xuanniao (玄鸟), or “black bird”, which is central to the dynasty’s creation mythology. According to some old Chinese texts, “Heaven commanded the black bird to descend and bear the Shang,” marking the origin of the Shang people.
Below is a picture of an example of a bronze Ding used by Shang rulers :
