Born in 1945, Shang graduated in History from then Beijing Normal College. In 1981, he earned his Master's degree from the Institute of History, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, under Xie Guozhen's guidance. He concentrated on researching ancient politicians and ritual systems in his early days, but turned his attention to social and cultural history later.[1] He was the president of the Chinese Society on Ming Dynasty History (2010-17) and a research fellow from the Institute of Archaeology, CASS.[2]
