It is a semi-arid continental monsoon climate. It is dryer in non monsoon seasons with plenty of sunshine. This is most likely how the climate was during the Shang Dynasty.]]> 2020-09-11 02:09:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jazminearagon1_1/s0bhu4pbk4uber8z/wish/737530806 jazminearagon1_1 https://padlet.com/jazminearagon1_1/s0bhu4pbk4uber8z/wish/737548376 In these conditions it may be harder for the civilization to build permanent homes that are monsoon proof and must be built at higher elevation.  The flooding during monsoon season helps the civilization in the sense that it provides lots of fertile farm land that can have rice grown on, providing a very stable food.

Monsoon-a seasonal prevailing wind in the region of South and Southeast Asia, blowing from the southwest between May and September and bringing rain (the wet monsoon ), or from the northeast between October and April (the dry monsoon ).]]> 2020-09-11 02:18:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jazminearagon1_1/s0bhu4pbk4uber8z/wish/737548376 jazminearagon1_1 https://padlet.com/jazminearagon1_1/s0bhu4pbk4uber8z/wish/737558548 This region has vast natural resources including coal, gold, silver, sinc, bronze, and nickel. These resources become more useful when technology advances and they start creating tools. Also they have amazing farm lands due to its location near the Yellow River. This created fertile farm lands, creating a stable food source, and this created free time for the civilization to expand and invent new tools, ideas, and new ways of life. ]]> 2020-09-11 02:24:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jazminearagon1_1/s0bhu4pbk4uber8z/wish/737558548 jazminearagon1_1 https://padlet.com/jazminearagon1_1/s0bhu4pbk4uber8z/wish/737590450 The Shang used bronze to craft many different items, from hairpins and weapons to chariots and ceremonial vessels.

That is why most of the jobs in the Shang dynasty where jobs related to farming. The Yellow River is still often referred to as the "Cradle of Chinese Civilization."]]> 2020-09-11 02:45:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jazminearagon1_1/s0bhu4pbk4uber8z/wish/737601355 jazminearagon1_1 https://padlet.com/jazminearagon1_1/s0bhu4pbk4uber8z/wish/737622383 The Shang Dynasty was a monarchy in which the king was both lawmaker and judge so no-one dared to argue with him. He ruled by force, and anyone who transgressed the king's laws would be killed immediately by his soldiers. The decision about who should be king was originally taken by force, whichever clan had the biggest army would rule the civilisation until a clan with a better army came along. In the Shang Dynasty's case, this lasted 550 years. The king would rule the 200 to 300 clans that resided in their territory.]]> 2020-09-11 02:57:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jazminearagon1_1/s0bhu4pbk4uber8z/wish/737622383 jazminearagon1_1 https://padlet.com/jazminearagon1_1/s0bhu4pbk4uber8z/wish/737648602

Military technology - Shang warriors fought with horse-drawn chariots, bronze-tipped spears, and compound bows. This is important because it improved the way they would fight.

Writing - This is important because many of the symbols developed during the Shang Dynasty are still used in China today.

A calendar - The Shang calendar designated 12 months, each with 30 days, and recognized the cycles of both the sun and the moon. This is important because it helped them create and know the date.

The vast and elaborate tombs of the Shang royal family are signs of their strong beliefs.  The practice of burying lower-ranking people reflected the Shang’s belief that those related to a king or lord by blood or service in life were expected to continue that relationship in death.]]> 2020-09-11 03:35:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jazminearagon1_1/s0bhu4pbk4uber8z/wish/737685064 jazminearagon1_1 https://padlet.com/jazminearagon1_1/s0bhu4pbk4uber8z/wish/737689746 2020-09-11 03:39:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jazminearagon1_1/s0bhu4pbk4uber8z/wish/737689746 jazminearagon1_1 https://padlet.com/jazminearagon1_1/s0bhu4pbk4uber8z/wish/737691451 2020-09-11 03:40:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jazminearagon1_1/s0bhu4pbk4uber8z/wish/737691451
