Beginning of Shang Dynasty

“The planets in conjunction in Fang (Scorpius).”
A tight grouping did occur in 1576 BCE,
Fang was symbolically charged with royal authority and used in omenology as a sign of dynastic transfer.
The Shang Dynasty (c. 1600–1046 BC) Is the first Chinese dynasty confirmed by both archaeology and written records. Unlike earlier semi-legendary periods, the Shang left behind cities, burials, bronzes, and written texts that allow historians to reconstruct their world with unusual clarity for the Bronze Age.
