The state religion of the Shang dynasty (c. 1600 – c. 1046 BC), the second royal dynasty of China, involved trained practitioners communicating with deities, including deceased ancestors and nature spirits. These deities formed a pantheon headed by the high god Di. Methods of communication with spirits included divinations written on oracle bones and sacrifice of living beings.

Why did it disappear?
Idk but I feel like the answer is Confucianism
I don’t think confucianism would have a problem with most shang dynasty practices.
I am not an expert but it arguably didn’t. Di continued to be a title for other deities.
