Di Xin (last king of Shang)

Di Xin was the final king of the Shang Dynasty in ancient China, ruling around 1100 BCE. His reign is often associated with extravagance, tyranny, and moral decline, which contributed to the dynasty's fall. Despite his initial power, his leadership became infamous for cruelty, excessive indulgence, and neglect of governance, leading to widespread unrest. Historically, he is portrayed as a cautionary figure emblematic of the importance of ethical leadership. His downfall marked the transition to the Zhou Dynasty, symbolizing the cycle of rise and decline common in Chinese history.
