Trivia: The Battle of Muye marked the beginning of what Chinese dynasty?
Shang
Zhou
Qin
Han
The correct answer is Zhou
So why is this answer correct? : The Shang Dynasty came to an end after the Battle of Muye, and the era of the Zhou Dynasty began. A military strategist named Lu Shang worked with King Wen and King Wu to defeat the Shang dynasty. The key turning point at the Battle of Muye was when Shang leader Di Xin armed 170,000 slaves to fight the Zhou, but many chose not to support his regime. This blunder led Di Xin to be posthumously given the sarcastic name, “King Zhou.”
