What does witch history mean? What did Wu Shi do in Shang Dynasty?

The history of witchcraft in Shang Dynasty occupies a very important position. All activities of the Shang king, including sacrifice, war, hunting, farming, astronomical phenomena, good or bad prediction, appointment and removal of officials, building cities and even giving birth, should be divined.

Witchcraft history occupies an important position in the state institutions of Shang Dynasty, and it often has the actual decision-making power in political affairs. During the Xia and Shang Dynasties, the slave economy in China was underdeveloped. Sacrifice and war are the two most important national events in political life. "Sacrifice and honor is a national event." Sacrifice activities in Shang Dynasty were frequent and grand, and the sorcerer who was in charge of sacrifice was the highest consul below the king. The political affairs of the Shang Dynasty were neither arbitrary by the Shang king himself nor agreed by the aristocratic meeting, but decided by the special method of divination. Judging from the Oracle Bone Inscriptions unearthed in the Yin Ruins in modern times, all activities of Shang kings, including sacrifice, war, hunting, farming, astronomical phenomena, prediction of good or bad luck, appointment and removal of officials, building cities and even giving birth, should be divined.
