What is the difference between Zhou and Shang cultures?

The difference between the Zhou and Shang cultures is mainly in the concepts of providence and humanistic traditions of the two generations

①The merchants believed in three types of deities, namely, God, ancestor gods and nature gods, with God as the main deity. Also frequent sacrifices to the ancestral gods, the formation of the "weekly sacrificial system" culture, while still retaining the primitive religion of nature worship, mountains and rivers in all directions, the wind god thunder and lightning. The superstitious worship of "ghosts" after death, the formation of "Yin people Shang ghost" concept.

②The development of the Zhou Dynasty Shang Shang Shang God concept, that the king's power both for the sky, and for the king's ancestor left, so respect for the sky and the law of the ancestors. The Zhou people sacrificed ancestors and the Shang "Zhou sacrificial system" is different, the implementation of the "Zhaomu system", the ancestors in accordance with the seniority of the left and right two columns. At the same time, the Zhou people's view of the Mandate of Heaven differed from that of the Shang in that they emphasized "virtue" and attached importance to "the people"

What the Zhou people emphasized in their "renewal" was the need to carry out changes in response to the Mandate of Heaven, to "Honor virtue and protect the people" and "match virtue with heaven".
