Is it obviously correct that the status of witch officials and fortune tellers rose in the Zhou Dynasty?

This is not right. Yin Shang attached importance to witchcraft and ghost divination, but the Zhou Dynasty began to change this form to worship ancestors, and the status of diviners declined.

In the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the good or bad fortune in divination was judged according to the explosive crack of the burnt Oracle bones. Because Shang Wang knew everything, Oracle Bone Inscriptions's content involved all fields of Shang society. The Shang Dynasty often waged wars with foreign countries, and the conquered countries paid tribute to the Shang Dynasty. In Oracle bone inscriptions, it is often recorded that families have come and entered horses, cattle, sheep and turtles.

After the Zhou Dynasty, with the establishment of the patriarchal clan system, the reference to the spirit of ancestors gradually disappeared. Because in the eyes of Zhou people, the spirit of our ancestors took "respecting morality and protecting the people" as its own responsibility. They are not only virtuous, but also guardians of the moral behavior of their relatives' descendants. They will never make trouble for no reason, endanger their descendants or do anything against morality. With the beautification of the function of ancestors' undead, ancestor worship gradually occupies an important position in various sacrifices, and various forms of ancestor worship have emerged, such as ancestral temples, family sacrifices and tomb sacrifices. Especially, ancestral halls and ancestral halls, as important places for ancestor worship, their architectural structures are gradually valued by people.
