Dinastiyang Shang

Ang Dinastiyang Shang o Dinastiyang Yin ay ang itinuturing bilang isang pinakaunang totoong
imperyo sa Tsina. Sa una, pinaniniwalaang isang alamat lang ang Shang, pero nang madiskubre ng
mga Intsik na gumamit sila ng mga butong orakulo, dito napatunayang totoo ang Shang.Ito ay
nagtagal sa loob ng 1766 BCE hanggang 1122 BCE.Ang dinastiya ring ito ay pinamunuan ni
Emperador Tang. Isa nang halimbawa ng mga ambag nito ay ang paggawa ng mga kagamitang
bronse,palayok,banga at ang pagbabasa ng emperador sa mga "oracle bone" para sa mga
nagpapahula ng hinaharap.

Sa aking natuklasan ang mga naiambag ng dinastiyang Shang ay ang pagkatuto na meron palang
alipin at pinuno noon dahil kung ndi nila ito natuklasan hindi natin malalaman kung gaano kahalga
ang pamumuno at pagsisilbi na ginagawa din ngayon
Sa panahong din ito painaunlad din nila ang pagtatanim

Shang Dynasty 1600-1046 BC

Capital Yinxu, Zhaoge

Population 13.7 million

- Established 1600 BC –

Battle of Muye 1046 BC

According to Chinese tradition, the Shang dynasty was founded by a rebel king, Tang of Shang, who
overthrew the last Xia ruler in the Battle of Mingtiao. According to the Shiji, the Shang had a long
history, and there are different theories about their origin. An analysis of bones from the remains of
Shang people showed a Huaxia ethnic origin. Their civilization was based on agriculture and
augmented by hunting and animal husbandry, and in addition to war, the Shang also practiced
human sacrifice.

The Shiji states that the Shang people moved their capital six times over the course of their rule, with
the final and most important move to Yin, in 1350 BC, initiating the golden age of the dynasty. In
fact, the name "Yin dynasty" has been synonymous with the Shang throughout history and was
actually the more popular term. However, it is now often used specifically to describe the later half of
the Shang dynasty. In Japan and Korea, the Shang are still referred to exclusively as the Yin (In)
dynasty.

The capitals, particularly the city of Yin, were centers of glittering court life. Over time, court rituals
to appease spirits developed, and in addition to his secular duties, the king would serve as the head of
the ancestor and spirit-worship cult. Oftentimes, the king would even perform oracle bone
divinations himself, especially near the end of the dynasty. Evidence from excavations of the royal
tombs indicates that royalty were buried with articles of value, presumably for use in the afterlife.
Perhaps for the same reason, hundreds of commoners, who may have been slaves, were buried alive
with the royal corpse.

Shang Zhou (商紂), the last Shang king, committed suicide after his army was defeated by the Zhou
(周) people. Legends say that his army and his equipped slaves betrayed him by joining the Zhou
rebels in the decisive Battle of Muye. According to the lost books of Zhou (逸周書) and Mencius the
battle was very bloody. The classic, Ming-era novel Fengshen Yanyi retells the story of the war
between Shang and Zhou as a conflict where rival factions of gods supported different sides in the
war.

After the Shang were defeated, the Zhou king, Zhou Wu (周武), allowed Shang Zhou's son Wugeng
Lufu (武庚祿父) to rule the Shang people as a vassal kingdom. However, Zhou Wu sent three of his
brothers and an army to ensure that Wugeng Lufu would not rebel. [22] [23] After Zhou Wu's death, the
Shang would join the Three Governors' Rebellion (三監之亂) against the Duke of Zhou, but the
rebellion collapsed after three years, leaving Zhou in control of Shang territory.

After Shang's collapse, Zhou's rulers forcibly relocated "Yin diehards" (殷頑) and scattered them
throughout Zhou territory. [24] Some surviving members of the Shang royal family collectively
changed their surname from the ancestral name Zi (子) to the name of their fallen dynasty, Yin (殷).
The family retained an aristocratic standing and often provided needed administrative services to the
succeeding Zhou Dynasty. The Shiji states that King Cheng of Zhou, with the support of his regent
and uncle, the Duke of Zhou, enfeoffed Ziqi (子啟), a brother of Shang Zhou, as the ruler of Wei
(微). Shang (商), the eponymous first capital of the former Shang dynasty, would become the capital
of Ziqi's state. In time, this territory would become the state of Song, and the descendants of Shang
royalty there would maintain rites honoring the dead Shang kings until 286 BC.

Guzhu (孤竹國), located in what is now Tangshan, was formed by another remnant of the Shang, and
was destroyed by Duke Huan of Qi. Many Shang clans that migrated northeast after the dynasty's
collapse were integrated into Yan culture during the Western Zhou period. These clans maintained an
elite status and continued practicing the sacrificial and burial traditions of the Shang. [21]

Both Korean and Chinese legends state that a disgruntled Shang prince named Jizi (箕子), who had
refused to cede power to the Zhou, left China with a small army. According to these legends, he
founded a state known as Gija Joseon in Northwest Korea during the Gojoseon period of ancient
Korean history. However, the historical accuracy of these legends is widely debated by scholars.
