Ancient objects discovered at Shang dynasty sites include huge bronze containers for food and wine and not many bronze weapons. What two conclusions can you draw from this finding? Everyone in the Shang dynasty was wealthy and owned a lot of bronze. The Chinese attached great importance to ceremonies and gatherings. Burial tombs were incomplete without bronze items. The craftspeople of Shang culture could work only with bronze and not any other metal. The Shang dynasty was fairly stable, and not many wars were fought.
