Shang Dynasty
The Shang dynasty was in power from around 1600 to 1046 b.c.
This dynasty is best known for its work with bronze. But, people in
this dynasty also provided the most complete record of early China.
The oldest writings of Chinese civilization came from this time. These
writings were carved onto animal shells and bones. These are often
referred to as oracle (OR-uh-kuhl) bones.
Oracle
bones tell
the early
history of
China.
