(The ancestor of the Zhou was Houji, named Qi, who was fond of agriculture. Emperor Yao promoted him to master of agriculture. In the time of Shun, he was enfiefed at Tai, titled Houji, with the distinct surname Ji. Four generations later, Danfu moved his residence to the Zhou Plain. His son was Jili, who under the Yin served as Count of Yongzhou; because he was in the west, he was called the Western Count. Jili's son Chang succeeded his father as the Western Count. When Zhou of Yin lost the Way, the Western Count received the mandate and claimed kingship, with the dynastic title Zhou. Chang's son Fa raised troops and destroyed Zhou, ascending the throne of the Son of Heaven, titled King Wu; he posthumously honoured the Western Count as King Wen. King Wu's son Song was King Cheng; King Cheng's son Zhao was King Kang; King Kang's son Xia was King Zhao; King Zhao's son Man was King Mu).
