No members of this house are recorded in this collection yet — a zero, not a claim that it had none.

Connections

How Western Zhou connects

Grouped by the kind of relationship, because a successor is not a son and a shared symbol is not an influence.

Affiliation 1

What this means

Association with a tradition or school. Traditions branch, overlap and re-merge; this is not a clean single-origin tree.

Does not imply a fixed roster · that every account of the tradition knows this figure

Imported from Wikidata unless a tile says otherwise. Nothing here has been read by an editor.

Succession in office 3

What this means

Who held an office after whom. Not parentage, not discipleship, and not universally recognised — offices are contested.

Does not imply parentage · discipleship · an explanation of why the succession happened
