Answer:
The Shang priests communicated with the gods through heating of animal bones.
Explanation:
The Shang priest prayed to the gods by sacrificing the animals. They heated the bones and burned incense sticks and waited for some signs from gods with the smoke rising.
They would question god and read the cracks in bones for signs of the answer. They would drink herbal tea and sleep and wait for God to answer their questions. They wrote on the bone and threw it in the fire and the fortune tellers would find answers regarding the future in them.
