The "Rebellion of the Ninth Dynasty" of the Shang Dynasty: A century-old epic of power struggle and family strife

The Rebellion of the Ninth Shang Dynasty was a battle for the throne in the history of the Shang Dynasty that lasted for nearly a century, including the struggle between the nine kings Zhongding, Wairen, Heqijia, Zuyi, Zuxin, Wojia, Zuding, Nangeng, and Yangjia, which led to the Shang Dynasty turning from prosperity to decline, leaving the people living in misery. This dispute lasted for a hundred years, until Pangeng moved the capital to Yin, and finally ended. The Shang Dynasty's succession system combined the methods of "father-son inheritance" and "brother-to-brother", which led to confusion in the succession to the throne. This dispute had an important impact on the history and culture of the Shang Dynasty.
