The Shang Dynasty & Ancient China

Primary school resources to support the teaching of The Shang Dynasty and Ancient China.

The Chinese empire was one of the most enduring empires on Earth.

During its long history, 13 major dynasties rose and fell. China was ruled by a different family of descendants in each dynastic period.

The Shang Dynasty was the second of the Chinese Dynasties, but the first to have written records of its existence. It started after the Xia Dynasty, around 1600BC and ended 1046BC. Information on the Shang period was written about by Ancient Chinese historians from future dynasties.

The Ancient Chinese people were responsible for many inventions including Gunpowder, Silk Cloth, Porcelain, Paper, Kites and many other artefacts used in today’s society.

Many of the artefacts in this box have been imported from China. The collection provides an interesting display as well as an insight into the life of this fascinating culture.

The picture shows a selection of the items in the collection, but please see the contents list for everything you will receive in the box.

The Shang Dynasty & Ancient China (£425) and Chinese New Year (325) collections may be purchased together at a reduced rate of £725
