Is "Zhou Wang" the real emperor of Shang Dynasty?

Zhou Wang was not the real emperor of Shang Dynasty, but Di Xin, and Zhou Wang was added as the last monarch of Shang Dynasty by later generations. Di Xin's real name is Zi Shou, the youngest son of Di Yi? My brother belongs to Wei. Wei was unable to inherit the throne because of her mother's low status, and Xin was appointed as the heir. Di Xin is smart, talented, eloquent and strong enough to compete with wild animals. He is a soldier. Moreover, when I grew up, I began to concentrate on strengthening the royal power and began to carry out a series of foreign wars and reforms.

At that time, the Shang Dynasty still had the concept of offering sacrifices to ancestors. People used living people to offer sacrifices to heaven to comfort the sky, because priests had a high position in the Shang Dynasty. As long as priests divined what they could not do, kings could not change their opinions. This limited the king's reform or movement.

There is also the existence of the aristocratic class. Many aristocrats have a lot of wealth and powerful power, and they are officials in the DPRK, but their achievements are not outstanding. It is also a constraint on the monarch. Often, a major event requires the nobles, priests and monarchs to reach an agreement before they can act. However, Di Xin decided to change this situation. He is determined to reform, study divination, sacrifice and other theological knowledge, and rule out the existence of priests. Then he promoted the poor at the bottom to be officials, selected talented and capable people to hold important positions, concentrated power in his own hands, and suppressed the power of nobles.

However, because of his rapid reform, it caused dissatisfaction among priests and nobles and caused internal discord. They joined hands with the suppressed small countries around them and began to shake the rule of Shang Dynasty from the inside. In addition, the foundation of Shang Dynasty was unstable. Finally, with the efforts of the rebel army led by Zhou Wenwang and Zhou Wuwang, the Shang Dynasty perished. The Zhou Dynasty arranged a series of charges for Shang Zhouwang and Di Xin, and later the Romance of the Gods made him appear a bunch of trumped-up charges.
