Zhou minam a phuankhiapa ahih manin “Zhou mite’ Pa” (Father of the Zhou People or Ancestor of Zhou) ciin zahtakna kipia hi. Zhou kumpigam “Zhou Dynasty” piankhiatna bulpi zong amah ahi hi. Tua ahih manin Zomite in Pu Zo i cih niloh pen hih “Hou Ji” hi ngel dingin ka lamen hi.
2. Bang hangin Zhou min kipuasak hiam?
Bang hangin Sen gama Zhou minamte Zhou cih min kiphuah uh hi ding hiam cih ka kan leuleu ciangin hih bang dawnna ka ngah hi—Zhou a kicihna hang uh pen a pu a pa’ tang-khua (ancestral homeland) Zhouyuan ahih man hi, kici hi. Zhouyuan pen tu laitaka Zhouzhi County, Shaanxi Province teng ahi hi. Zhouyuan khuasuak ahih manun “Zhou” mi a kici uh na hih tuak hi. A tunga i gensa bangin Hou Ji in minam neute gawm khawmin Zhou minam phuan a, Zhouyuan ah kiphualpih hi. Tua mun pana hong khangkhia mite pen Zhou mi hong suak uh hi ding dan hi.
3. Zhou kammal in bang khiatna nei hiam?
Tanglai Sente in Zhou a cih un bang khiatna nei hiam cih ka dot ciangin dawnna point li hong kipia hi:
1). Hill or highland – mual ahih kei leh khamtung gam 2). Mountainous regions – mualtung gam 3). Western Region (in contrast to the eastern plains) – Ni tumna lam gam (Ni suahna lam pen zang gam hi a, tua tawh kilehbulhin ni tumna lam gam pen khamtung gam ahi hi. Tua ahih manin Western Region a kicih ciangin khamtung gam genna ahi hi). 3). Province or region – gamke, gam khen (kual/khawk).
Sen-te tangthu bu nihte in Zhou a hilhcianna uh Mang lai tawh en lai vet pak ni: – Shujing (Book of History): “Zhou” described the hilly regions west of the Zhou Dynasty’s capital. – Shaning (Book of Odes): “Zhou” referred to the mountainous areas inhabited by the Zhou people.

Amah leh a mite Zhou a kiphuahna uh a hang pen Sen gam ni tumna lam, khamtung gam ah teng uh ahih manin “Khamtungmi” cihna “Zhou” a kiphuak uh hih tuak hi. Tuni dongin i pau ah “zo” cih kammal pen khamtung gam, mualsang dawnte genna hi lai hi. Tua ahih manin Pu Zo ii a mite ihih manin Zomi hi hang cih zong a maan veve hi a, Pu Zo leh a mite Zo (Zhou) a kichna hang uh pen mualtungmi ahih man uh hi, cih zong a maan mah ahi hi, kici thei dingin ka mu hi.
