King Wen inherited the throne in 1100. He considered the Shang dynasty to be superior to that of his self-nomadic tribe. King Wen engineered a cultural transformation of his people so that by the end of his reign, thier style of living had absorbed the patterns of the Shang Dynasty.
King Wu was King Wen's son and he did not go to far in his reign. Five years after King Wen, King Wu led and destroyed the armies of the Shang in a single morning. He was killed and that was the end of the dynasty.
