Either a five- or seven-year drought occurred after the founding of this dynasty, the earlier dynasty to produce animal-like taotie masks. What may have been this dynasty’s first capital has been identified with the Erligang culture. Ezra Pound’s dictum “make it new” came from one of this dynasty’s rulers etching the phrase onto a bathtub. This dynasty was menaced by northern attackers referred to as the Guifang, who were fought by armies under Lady Hao as described in her tomb. This dynasty was ended at the Battle of (*) Müye. At this dynasty’s capital of Yinxu, archaeologists discovered the oldest Chinese writing on a set of oracle bones. For 10 points, name this first archaeologically supported Chinese dynasty, which succeeded the semi-mythical Xia. ■END■
