Duke Zhou was a politician in the early Western Zhou Dynasty. He assisted in becoming the Regent and made great contributions to the Zhou Dynasty. Later, he was honored as a saint.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius highly praised Duke Zhou's way of governing the country. In his early years, he learned the knowledge of six arts handed down from the Western Zhou Dynasty and mastered the Huang Zhang system of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Duke Zhou became the most desirable figure in his mind, so that he often dreamed of Duke Zhou.

Later, when Confucius was in politics in Shandong, he was determined to restore the system of the Western Zhou Dynasty, conduct benevolent government and establish a Western Zhou-style country. However, his idea was strongly opposed by the ruling elite. Finally, he was forced to leave Shandong and spread his ideas all over the world.

" Vast territory and abundant resources, frugal people are safe; Lu respects life, which is humble and expensive; The people are strong and the soldiers are strong, and those who fear will win; Smart and wise, kept by fools and philosophers; Those who have good knowledge and remember it, and keep it shallow, are all modest and virtuous. Your husband is the son of heaven and is rich in the whole world, which makes him very virtuous. If you don't be humble, you will lose the world and die. You can be careless. "
