Question

What do the oracle bones and other archaeological evidence tell us about what the people ruled by the Shang believed?​

Answer 1

The Shang believed that the ancestors could also confer good fortune; the Shang would consult ancestors through oracle bones in order to seek approval for any major decision, and to learn about future success in harvesting, hunting, or battle. It appears that there was belief in the afterlife during the Shang dynasty.
