The ruling ideology of "Ming De Shen Punish" was expounded, which originated from the reflection of the Zhou Emperor on the abuse of punishment by the Shang Dynasty, which led to the downfall of the country. Under the influence of this ideology, the punishment system of the Western Zhou Dynasty was relatively lenient, implementing a policy of exemption from punishment for specific age groups. This ideology not only contributed to social stability and institutional improvement at that time, but also had a profound impact on later generations, inherited and developed by Confucianism into the concept of "governing with morality". The legal concept of "morality as the mainstay and punishment as the auxiliary" in the Western Han Dynasty also originated from this. The description of King Wen in the "Kang Gao" of the Book of Documents demonstrates his governance style of advocating morality and education, and using punishment cautiously, laying the foundation for the establishment and governance of the Zhou state.
