Show transcript
One reason why we know so much about the Shang Dynasty is because of their use of bronze.
Bronze dings were highly important to the Shang Dynasty.
The large size of many dings has led archaeologists to believe they were used to offer sacrifices to gods and ancestors.
If the ancestors of a family were pleased, life for that family would be prosperous.
Dings required complicated moulds to produce. Wealthy Shang Dynasty used them to demonstrate their status.
