King Wu

King Wu, also known as Wu Wang, was the founder of the Zhou dynasty in ancient China, known for his role in overthrowing the tyrannical Shang dynasty. He is celebrated in the literary classic 'Fengshen Yanyi' for leading the righteous war against the last Shang king, Zhou, which is often interpreted as a symbol of the people's struggle for justice and liberation. Mao Zedong referenced King Wu in his speeches to illustrate the importance of people's wars and righteous governance.
