List of Shang dynasty states
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The list of states refers to the various vassal tribes and states during the Shang dynasty in ancient China. Today, scholars' understanding of these states (Chinese:"方") primarily comes from oracle bone inscriptions unearthed from the late Shang dynasty Yinxu. In these inscriptions, these tribal states are often referred to as name + "方".[1] In modern style Chinese the term can be duplicated to Fangguo (Traditional Chinese: 方國).
