Answers
Shang dynasty kings ruled over a well-organized and civilized state in northern China between 1766 BCE and 1122 BCE. Under them, many of the key features of later Chinese civilization began to develop.The Shang dynasty was, according to traditional Chinese histories, the second dynasty of ancient China, ruling from 1766 BCE to 1122 BCE. The dynasty was held to have been founded by a rebel king, Tang, who overthrew the last king of the Xia dynasty, the first of ancient China’s dynasties.o date there has come down to us no direct historical evidence for the existence of the Xia dynasty. However, there is no reason why such a dynasty may not have existed in China’s pre-history. Given that the roots of Chinese civilization go much further back than the Shang, there are plenty of reasons to think that the Xia dynasty did indeed rule in northern China.
