Lecture 4: As we saw in the last lecture, out of such cultures as the Yangshao and Longshan grew full-blown states and dynasties, which as we will see later in the course, were eventually consolidated into huge civilizations and empires that rivaled those in West Asia in size and power. Our task in the next two lectures is to consider the origins, history, and cultural legacy of the powerful Shang dynasty, the first significant Chinese dynasty and the first for which we have indisputable evidence. In this first lecture on the Shang, we’ll focus on some of their distinctive cultural traits and achievements, which went on to become important foundational pieces in an emerging concept of Chinese and Eastern civilization.

Suggested Reading:
Allen, The Shape of the Turtle.
Ebrey, The Cambridge Illustrated History of China, chapter 1.
