Shang Dynasty

Hey Adventurers! The Shang Dynasty ruled China from around 1500 B.C. until 1100 B.C. During this 400 years of history, Chinese tradition states that 30 separate kings ruled from a succession of 7 different capitals. Only a few of these capitals have been located and excavated by archaeologists. The last capital which this dynasty ruled was located in 1899, and was the first Shang Dynasty capital to be found and studied.One of the most important contributions made during the period that the Shang Dynasty ruled China was the invention of writing. The earliest written records found in China come from this time period. That means that the Shang dynasty have a great part in history not only for being a great dynasty but for basically creating writing. This video shows the effect and all the information about how the dynasty came to be and other interesting facts. Give it a watch! I found that the Shang dynasty has had one of the biggest impacts on China today. Hopefully you have learnt something from this blog! See you soon Adventurers! :)
