Is there a combination of kingship and theocracy in the political system of the Western Zhou Dynasty? Specific content

The political system of the Western Zhou Dynasty was a combination of kingship and theocracy. When China was in the Zhou Dynasty, a slave society, he claimed to be the Emperor of Zhou, and all the rites and music (decrees) were conquered (military orders) from the emperor. The kingship is given by God and is sacred and inviolable. Archaeology discovered from Jin Wen and Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Yin, Zhou and Zhou Dynasties that the ruling class at that time used the working people's belief and worship of natural forces to disguise their will as an order from heaven, which was called "destiny". The core of Zhou Dynasty's political structure was imperial power, so Zhou people concentrated on discussing that the source of sovereign power was gods.

The divine right of monarchy is the political theory of feudal monarchy. Slave owners in Xia Dynasty began to rule by religion. Shangshu Zhao Gao said: Summer clothes have a destiny. This is the earliest theocratic record. Divine kingship is also called divine kingship. The power of a monarch (king) comes from the teachings of God.

1046 BC, after the battle of Makino, the Shang Dynasty perished and the Zhou Dynasty was established, which was called the Western Zhou Dynasty in history. After Zhou Wuwang destroyed the business, he returned to Haojing and felt that Haojing was too far away from the newly conquered area. He intends to build a new capital in the Ilo River area, the center of Xia people's activities. His idea didn't come true, and he died suddenly. It can be seen from the inscription of He Zun unearthed in Baoji that after he became king, he inherited the will of King Wu and decided to build a new city near Luoyang, "China". Ruling the newly conquered areas from here can greatly shorten the distance. To this end, King Cheng once sent Zhao Gong to the "Xiangzhai" near Luoyang. Soon, Luoyi became the political, military and cultural center of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
