why do we not know if any dynasties preceded the Shang

Sagot :

The problem is that we don't know for sure, but we suspect that the Shang dynasty reigned in China starting in 1600 BC, and that before that was the Xia Dynasty.

The existence of the Xia Dynasty is not documented directly, because the first durable documents in China, in the oracle bone script date to max. 1400 BC. Some scholars suspect that the Xia dynasty was created as a myth to provide an opposition to Shang, as their traits were often opposite. On the other hand, we know some potential members of the Xia, which would serve as an argument in favour of their existence.

Answer:

The Shang Dynasty ruled China from approximately 1766bce to about 1040bce. Shan rulers expanded the borders of their kingdom to include all of the land between present days mongolia and the Pacific Ocean
