More than 3,600 years ago, the Shang Dynasty arose beside the Yellow River in China. The Shang people lived in north east China for almost 600 years. They were expert bronze workers, they invented a calendar, and their writing led to today's Chinese writing. The carved bones they left behind guided archaeologists to discover much about their culture. Learn more about the Shang!
