Brief introduction of Shang dynasty

Shang Dynasty (about 1600-BC 1046) is the second dynasty in the history of China, also known as Yin Shang, and the first dynasty in China with direct written records at the same time. The Shang Dynasty experienced three main stages. The first stage is "pre-business"; The second stage is "early business"; The third stage was the "Late Shang Dynasty", which lasted for more than 500 years from 17 to 3 1 Wang.

Shang is a tribe rising in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. It is said that its ancestors Qi and Yu were contemporaries. Shang Tang, the monarch of Xia-Shang Dynasty, led the Shang Dynasty to destroy Xia Hou in the Ming-Tiao War, and established the Shang Dynasty in Bohai. After that, the capital of Shang Dynasty moved frequently, and it was not until its descendant Pan Geng moved to Yin that it was founded in Yin for 273 years. Therefore, Shang Dynasty was called Yin or Yin Shang by later generations.
