Zhaoge (Chinese: 朝歌; pinyin: Zhāogē), in modern Qi County, Hebi, Henan province, was the capital of the State of Wey in the Zhou dynasty.[1] According to traditional histories, it had been the last capital of the Shang dynasty, from king Geng Ding or Wu Yi through the final three kings.[2][3] In the 3rd century, Du Yu stated that the Yinxu 'ruins of Yin' mentioned in the Zuo Zhuan was Zhaoge. In the early 20th century, archaeologists discovered the capital of the last nine Shang kings, now known as Yinxu, on the edge of Anyang about 50 km (30 mi) north of Zhaoge.[4]
