shang dynasty homework

RELIGION

The people of the Shang dynasty believed in a lot of different gods: weather gods, sky gods and a higher god(shang ti) that ruled over the gods. They also believes that when a person dies, he/she becomes a god too so they also worship them as they think they want to be worshipped.
