The Oracle Bone Inscriptions represent one of the most important written sources about the Shang Dynasty (ca. 1600‑1050 BCE). These divination reports, produced between the xiiith and the xth century BCE, reflect the Shang kings and the Zhou elite’s worries. Among the main topics in these inscriptions are: sacrifice, war, harvest, hunting and wealth.
