At times, the two polities were allies and trading partners, but on at least two occasions war broke out between them, eventually leading to Dapeng's destruction by King Di Xin of Shang around 1060 BC.

Professional Engineer
A professional is a member of a profession or any person who works in a specified professional activity. The term also describes the standards of education and training that prepare members of the profession with the particular knowledge and skills necessary to perform their specific role within that profession.

Professional standards of practice and ethics for a particular field are typically agreed upon and maintained through widely recognized professional associations, such as the IEEE.
