Human Sacrifice in Ancient China

During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, human sacrifice played a major role in rituals and royal ceremonies. Archaeological sites like Yinxu reveal mass graves of sacrificial victims, ranging from prisoners of war to even royal family members. These sacrifices were believed to serve the deceased in the afterlife, display power, and honor deities. Over time, the practice declined and was replaced by symbolic offerings, marking a shift in China's spiritual beliefs. #ancientchina #HumanSacrifice #ShangDynasty #ZhouDynasty #Yinxu #RenjiSacrifice #ChineseHistory #Archaeology #AncientRituals #AfterlifeBeliefs #ChineseCulture #RoyalBurials #HistoryChannel
