Answer you in the order of your questions:
First, first of all, the currency you mentioned:
In Shang dynasty, the currency was "shell", the unit was "Peng", and a string of five shells were friends. There is also a saying that ten people are a friend. Most of them were shipped from Huaiyi area;
Secondly, it is clothing:
Linen and silk were the main materials in Shang dynasty, and people with different identities had different clothing styles.
This analysis generally comes from pottery figurines, and at least the following 10 styles are known at present.
I must declare that the following parts are plagiarized because of too much typing, hehe, please forgive me for plagiarizing some:
1, cross-collared coat with right lapel, with decorative pattern, hip-length sleeves and wrist-length sleeves, narrow cuffs, with pleated skirt, wide belt, leggings and pointed shoes. This is for high officials and dignitaries.
2. Right-handed gown with horizontal collar, long sleeves, narrow cuffs, front knee and back flush. Wearing wide trousers, wide belt, shoes, an axe-shaped knee pad hanging on the abdomen, wearing a tall towel hat. By small and medium-sized nobles or cronies. This cross-collared gown with back collar is the precedent of "deep coat".
3. Wear a right-hand gown, knee-length gown and long sleeves. With wide pants, belts and soft shoes. It's clothes worn by upper-middle class children.
4. Long-sleeved cross-neck jacket decorated with Chinese style, length and ankle. With a wide belt, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, shoes and a crown roll, it is a dress worn by senior ladies.
5, a short coat with Chinese jewelry, long sleeves, length and buttocks. Pants, shoes and crowns with flowers belong to the nobility.
6. Long-sleeved floral shirt with high collar and open collar. It's for cronies and nobles.
7, round neck, long sleeves, short clothes. Paired with tight floral pants, the crown belongs to the upper-middle class aristocrats.
8, round neck narrow long-sleeved floral coat, length and calf. It's for the middle and lower classes.
9, round neck thin long-sleeved jumpsuit, hem hanging down, waist rope, simple and flashy. The service is provided by a criminal.
10, naked or wearing only a narrow kneepad in front of the abdomen, wearing a hoop-shaped cymbal on the forehead, or wearing a flat crown, are all images of untouchables and slaves.
Third, there are too many customs. I don't know what part you're talking about:
The biggest feature of Shang Dynasty is its reverence for ghosts and gods, and it pays attention to "the great event of the country is sacrifice", that is to say, the most important thing is war and sacrifice.
The most important occupation is "witchcraft". The words such as Wu Zhubu and Shi Zhen in Oracle Bone Inscriptions refer to these people, who have made great contributions to music, dance and writing. The witch's work can be summarized in one sentence: to entertain God with music and dance, and to please God with singing and dancing. . .
There is also a more important "Takasaki Festival", which is usually held in the suburbs around February. In fact, it is a custom for married men and women to seek children and unmarried courtship. This custom also exists in later generations, and the week is set in the middle of spring, usually on the third day of February.
Fourth, diet.
Drinking was prevalent in Shang dynasty, and there were many wine vessels. Almost any banquet should be drunk, except for the banquet at the pension ceremony, perhaps for the health of the elderly.
Actually, there is a lot of food. Mainly includes:
1, Xiaomi: staple food.
2, hemp: generally rarely cook and eat, you can squeeze oil.
3, beans: generally boiled beans to eat.
4. Rice: Dayu was introduced to the north during the flood control, but it was rarely eaten at that time.
5. Wheat: imported from the west, but it would not be ground, cooked or eaten at that time, but it was rare.
6, millet: yellow rice, mainly used for brewing.
7. Fruits: peaches, cherries, plums, plums and dates. Fruit can also be used to make wine.
8. Fish: Carassius auratus, Monopterus albus (mulberry for three times, haha for you) fish, carp, grass carp, herring, red-eyed trout and so on.
9. Meat: mutton, beef, pork, hare, quail, chicken, etc.
10, snails and other crustaceans: snails, mussels, rabbits, turtles, crabs, etc.
Five, about the diet, there is a more important, Shang people implemented a two-meal system. By the way, you can learn about the time division of Shang Dynasty.
Their hours are called "Ming" at daybreak, "Chao" after daybreak, "Big Food" at breakfast, "Rizhong" at noon, "Cloud" in the afternoon, "Guo" in the west of the sun, "Snack" at night, "Snack" at dinner, "Faint" at sunset and "Waiting" at sleep.
