The Shang Dynasty was previous to Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism, and they worshipped many different gods. Shang-Ti (the emperoror) was believed to be the link between the people and the gods, and was believed to be the sky deity. It was important to keep Shang-Ti happy and offerings and human sacrifices would be given in his name.

What did shang priests write questions on?

Shang priests wrote questions on oracle bones, which were typically made from the shoulder blades of oxen or the shells of turtles. They inscribed these questions using Chinese characters and then subjected the bones to heat, causing cracks that were interpreted as answers from the divine. This practice was a key aspect of divination in Shang Dynasty China, allowing priests to seek guidance on important matters. The resulting inscriptions provide valuable insights into early Chinese writing and spirituality.
