Where was the capital city of Zhou Dynasty built?

The capital of the Zhou Dynasty was built in Luoyi, which is now Luoyang. Luoyi was one of the largest cities in the world at that time. In order to manage the East, Duke Zhou built two cities in Luoshui North and Luoshui East, collectively known as Luoyi. The west of the city is the seat of the imperial palace, and the east of the city is the seat of the Zhou royal ancestral hall, which is also the place where Yin immigrants moved in. Between Jianshui and Zhuoshui is the settlement of Zhou people, and to the east of Zhuoshui is the settlement of Yin people.

Luoyi is the place where Zhou Wuwang stood in the Central Plains and where Zhou Chengwang lived in China. After successful felling, he set out to establish a new capital in the center of this country, and established the Zhou Dynasty in 1046 BC.

The process of establishing Luoyang as the capital of Zhou Dynasty.

King Wu successfully established the Zhou Dynasty, known as the Western Zhou Dynasty in history. In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, in order to control the vast area in the eastern part of the Central Plains where adherents of the Shang Dynasty were widely distributed, Zhou Wuwang considered establishing its capital in Luoyang, Henan. Unfortunately, shortly after the demise of Shang Dynasty, the King of Wu died, followed by the rebellion of the three prison countries and the eastward expedition of the Duke of Zhou. In order to fulfill King Wu's last wish to build the capital of the East, it is more important to consolidate the regime at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty and realize the goal of standing in the center of the world and governing the Quartet. After the Eastern Expedition, the Duke of Zhou established his capital in Luoyi.
