（二十）　武王發（文王子周公兄）既立。以太公望為師。周公旦為輔。召畢之徒為左右。同謀伐紂。起兵洧水。諸侯不期會者八百。皆云。紂可伐矣。戊午日兵臨孟津。癸亥夜陳于商郊。甲子戰于牧野。前徒倒戈血流漂杵。既克殷。大定天下（歸馬華山之陽。放牛桃林之下）倒載干戈。在位七年（壽九十三。葬于鎬。諡克定禍亂曰武）禮曰。天下有王。分地建國置都立邑（古制。王畿千里。公百里。侯七十里。伯子男各五十里。不及曰附庸。周置王畿千里。公五百里。侯四百里。伯三百里。子二百里。男一百里。不及曰附庸）葬之以翣（世本曰。武王作翣。其形如扇。置牆以飾棺）乙卯立。建子為正。

> (20) King Wu, Fa (son of King Wen, elder brother of the Duke of Zhou). Having acceded to the throne, he took Taigong Wang as his tutor, Dan the Duke of Zhou as his assistant, and the likes of Duke of Shao and Duke of Bi as his counselors on the left and right, and together they plotted to march against Zhou. He mobilized troops at the Wei River. Eight hundred feudal lords assembled without prior summons, and all said: "Zhou can now be attacked!" On the wuwu day, the army arrived at Mengjin. On the night of the guihai day, they deployed in the suburbs of Shang. On the jiazi day, they fought at Muye. The enemy's vanguard turned their weapons against their own ranks, and the blood flowed so abundantly as to float wooden pestles. Having conquered Yin, he largely pacified all under Heaven (he returned the horses to the south of Mount Hua and set the oxen free at the base of the Peach Forest), laying down shields and halberds. He reigned for seven years (lived to ninety-three; was buried at Hao; his posthumous name, for conquering and calming calamities and disorders, was Wu \["Martial"\]). The Rites states: "When there is a king over all under Heaven, he apportions land to establish states, and sets up capitals and settlements." (Under the ancient system, the royal domain was one thousand li; a duke's was one hundred li; a marquis's, seventy li; and an earl's, viscount's, and baron's, each fifty li; those smaller than this were called attached dependencies. The Zhou established the royal domain as one thousand li; a duke's as five hundred li; a marquis's, four hundred li; an earl's, three hundred li; a viscount's, two hundred li; and a baron's, one hundred li; those smaller than this were called attached dependencies.) They buried him using hearse screens (The Shiben states: "King Wu created hearse screens. Their shape is like a fan; they are arranged around the enclosure to adorn the coffin."). He acceded in the yimao year, establishing the zi month as the start of the year.
