Discuss the Shang dynasty.
What will be an ideal response?
The Shang dynasty began with Emperor Tang around 1700 BCE. It included a network of hilltop villages that were situated to protect the valleys below from attack. The Shang developed a sophisticated method of bronze work. They often decorated their objects with the phoenix and the dragon, which symbolized the unification of the east and west kingdoms. Eventually the Shang dynasty collapsed, most likely due to tensions in the society between the agriculture foundation and the military class that developed to guard the citizens.
