King Cheng of Zhou ( Chinese: 周成王; pinyin: Zhōu Chéng Wáng; Wade–Giles: Chou1 Ch‘êng2 Wang2; 1055–1021 BC), was the second king of the Zhou dynasty. The dates of his reign are 1042–1021 BCE or 1042/35–1006 BCE. [5] His parents were King Wu of Zhou (周武王) and Queen Yi Jiang (邑姜). [6]
King Cheng was young when he ascended the throne. His uncle the Duke of Zhou, fearing that Shang forces might rise again under the possible weak rule of a young ruler, became the regent and supervised government affairs for several years. Duke of Zhou established the eastern capital at Luoyang and later defeated a rebellion by Cheng's uncles [7] the Three Guards Cai Shu, Guan Shu and Huo Shu. [8] [9]
King Cheng later stabilized the Zhou dynasty's border by defeating several barbarian tribes along with the Duke of Zhou.
