Is it true that in the Shang Dynasty live people were sacrificed and even the kings cannibalized?

Because it was a slave society at that time, and the Shang dynasty was very big on rituals, so they would use live people as sacrifices. And productivity was low at that time, so they would capture their enemies to sacrifice to their ancestors and then eat him.

In the Shang Dynasty, the people who were used as sacrifices were called human sacrifices, and it can be seen from these two words that people were treated as livestock, and when the sacrifices were held, the human animals or livestock, or pure human beings were used, and dedicated to the ghosts and gods for consumption, but the ghosts and gods would only consume the souls of these sacrifices, and the fleshly creatures would not be eaten, so the fleshly bodies were would be divided among some noble people in the Yin Shang period.

From the oracle bone inscriptions, about the sacrifices during the Shang Dynasty, when sacrificing human and animal animals, they would pull out the human or animal's internal organs completely, and some of them would even brutally kill the human and animal by all kinds of means, such as cutting off their heads, throwing them into the water, boiling them, or putting them into a charcoal fire to bake them, and as long as they could think of the methods, they would use them all.

These are the most important of all.

The human sacrifice system came from ancient times, when productivity was low and there was no way to feed many people, so in order to get more food, the enemy would be captured and sacrificed to the ancestors, and then eaten, this system has been popular for thousands of years, and then became a sacrifice during the Shang Dynasty, and the people who were used for sacrifice were not necessarily eaten. all be eaten, but certainly some were. King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty used to kill 30 people in order to quell the floods, and used them to sacrifice to the river gods, and Buyi Kao, the eldest son of King Wen of the Zhou Dynasty, was also sacrificed and made into a bouillon and eaten, and only after the Zhou Dynasty did they abolish the system of living sacrifices, but there were still some people who were martyred in the system.
