What did the bureaucracy of Shang Dynasty include?

There were two kinds of official positions in Shang dynasty: Chinese and Korean official positions and foreign official positions.

Among the internal officials, there are external court administrators and internal court administrators.

Foreign court officials, that is, officials who deal with state affairs, are mainly Yin, and there are various names such as divination, writing books, and clothing.

The highest administrative officer is the "phase" who assists the Shang king in making decisions, also known as "A", "Bao" and "Yin". Became the prime minister of later generations.

The senior officials of the dynasty were collectively called Qing people. The "three publics" are honorifics set by people, and they are not permanent.

In addition, there are: divination, sacrifice, recorded history, divination of divination, the desire to pray for ghosts and gods, books for keeping ancient books (also known as keeping Tibetan history and internal history), teachers of military attaché s and musicians, and Shao Shi.

Bu and Zuo were religious officials, equivalent to priests in Roman times, but their status was far less than that of Roman priests. Among them, as a high priest, Bu has great power, and his job of compiling books is equivalent to that of later generations. He is the official in charge of records. Yafu is a military attache, commanding the army, which is divided into Asia, Asia and Asia, but the difference between specific positions and grades is unknown. There are other titles for military attaché s in Shang Dynasty, such as shooting (commander in chief archer), dog (in charge of hunting in Shang Dynasty) and guarding (chief of important garrison).

The court official is an official who serves the royal family, mainly the general manager and the trusted minister.

I manage all the specific affairs of the royal family, including the master of ceremonies in charge of all kinds of work, grain collectors, shepherds in charge of animal husbandry, hunting beasts, brewers in charge of wine, car makers in charge of the king's carts, clothes for the Shang king (also known as servants and emperors), elegant military officers, elegant shoes for guards, old men in charge of educating aristocratic children, and old men in other places.

Officials stationed abroad mainly include leaders such as local officials, Hou, Bo, Gong and Dian. Hou and Bo are great princes, and the door and code are small or far away. People who worked for the dynasty had guards guarding the border.

Different from the later generations, the Shang Dynasty retained some characteristics of the matriarchal society of the previous generation, and women could also become princes and command the army. Oracle bone inscriptions "Xin Si Bu, Zhen Hao 3,000, Deng, Hu Fa □" said that on the fourth day of Xin, Bu Wen ordered women to command more than 10,000 troops to crusade against a certain land. The woman here is the wife of Shang King Wu Ding.
