CULTURE
In the Shang culture, many different things are practiced and worshiped. They worship a god called Shang Di, who was a god that ruled over the other gods of the sun, wind, water, and other natural forces. The Shang would also worship their dead ancestors because they believed that even though they were in heaven and dead, they were involved in family affairs.
The dynasty's government was a hierarchy, which was a system that had many ranks and many jobs that were passed down by noble families. When the Shang invented writing, they were able to govern their people better since writing made many things more organized. Down below are some characters of the Shang writing and their translation in English.
