Explanation:

Zhou Dynasty came into power after winning the Battle of Muye. Zhou Dynasty rules China through the idea of the Mandate of Heaven.

Zhou Dynasty would keep customs and traditions from the Shang Dynasty to show the continuity of the old things to gain trust and maintain peace in the kingdom.
