Fenghao

Fenghao is the modern name for the twin city comprising Feng and Hao, the capitals of the Chinese Western Zhou dynasty (771 BCE). The cities were located on opposite banks of the Feng River near its confluence with the Wei in an area now part of Xi'an, Shaanxi.

==History== Under the Shang, the predynastic Zhou capital was located in what is now Qishan County between the Wei River and Mount Qi at a location variously described as Qishan (, "Mt. Qi"), Qiyi (, "Qi City"), Qizhou (, "Zhou at Mt. Qi"), Qixia (, "Below Mt. Qi"), and Zhouyuan (, "the Zhou Plain"). As Ji Chang (posthumously known as King Wen) expanded the territory of the predynastic Zhou east into Shanxi in the mid-11th century BC in preparation for an assault on his nominal Shang overlords, he constructed a new capital named Chengyi (, "Cheng City") in lands the Zhou had recently annexed from the Qiang between the Wei and Jing Rivers in present-day Xianyang's Weicheng District. During an extreme drought, he moved his capital further east to the west bank of the Feng River about downstream from Qiyi. This city was variously called Feng (), Fengxi (), or Fengjing (). This relocation was said to have occurred in the year before Ji Chang's death and five years before the Battle of Muye, placing it  BC by current estimates.
