Not only that, King Zhou also built many magnificent palaces and grand deer terraces. Lutai is 1000 feet high and three li wide. According to Jiang Ziya's estimate, it will take 35 years for the project to be completed, which shows the vastness of the project. It took two years and four months for King Zhou to order Beibo Chonghou tiger to supervise the construction of deer platform. It took only two years and four months for the 35 year project to be completed, which shows the importance of King Zhou's search for people's wealth. King Zhou also ordered that the pool be filled with wine on the sand dune platform, and the meat of various animals be cut into large pieces and hung in the forest. This is the so-called "wine pool and meat forest", so as to play and eat and drink at will. At the same time, it is also called naked men and women chasing and playing with each other.
