1100 BC,the area of China around the Yellow River was ruled by a family of kingscalled the Shang.They were rich and very powerful.The king and his family lived in large beautiful palaces.They had many servants who made them food and did all the work in the palaces,so they had an easy life.The PeopleThe richest people lived in cities with very high walls.They didnt work,and spent their time huntingand horse riding.They were good at capturing animals.Other people lived outside the walls.There were merchants（商人）and craftsmen（工匠）,so theyworked for their living.They were not poor,but they were not protected during wars.Most of the people during this time were farmers.They lived in villages in the countryside.Theyworked in fields with tools made of stone,grew grain such as rice,wheat,and kept animals.The best placefor farming was by the Yellow River.Here the warm,wet weather was perfect for growing rice.The farmerslived in small houses made of mud or bamboo.They had to listen to the kings and the rich people all thetime and give them food and gifts.They didnt have a very easy life.During the time of the Shang,the Chinese discovered how to make bronze（青铜）.Bronze is animportant metal because it is strong and lasts for a very long time.The Chinese made all kinds of thingsfrom bronze,such as pots for cooking,cups for drinking jewellery and weapons（武器）.But perhaps the most important development during the time of the Shang was writing.With it,peoplecould pass on information about themselves,their lives and what they believed.Although the Chinesestarted writing at this time,they didnt have paper yet,so people wrote on animal bones,on bamboo,andeven on turtle shells!So,life for people in ancient China was quite different from our lives today.9.Who lived
