There are a large number of materials of Shang Dynasty sacrificial activities preserved in the oracle-bone inscriptions.Studying the problem of subaggregate groups of ancestors in oracle-bone sacrificial inscriptions is of great significance for discussing Shang Dynasty ritual system,studying Shang Dynasty history and culture,and even fully understanding Chinese traditional culture.On the basis of a more comprehensive collection of oracle-bone inscriptions related to the subaggregate groups of ancestors of the Shang Dynasty,this paper effectively sorts them out from several aspects,and then discusses the specific meanings of the different subaggregate groups of ancestors.The first chapter mainly discusses several groups of subaggregate groups of ancestors who are suspected to be related.Starting from the divination inscriptions,I try to analyze the relationship and specific reference between them.The second chapter is to discuss the most common subaggregate groups of ancestors(i.e."numbers + ancestors ")in divination inscriptions,so as to explain that the ancestors they contain are not fixed,and the ancestors contained in different divinations inscriptions may not be the same,even the contemporaneous divinations inscriptions of the same group may differ.The third chapter is to briefly sort out several suspected subaggregate groups of ancestors.The appendix contains the reorganized interpretations of the divinations inscriptions on the subaggregate groups of ancestors,as well as six oracle bones conjugation.
