Renfang

The Renfang were a people to the east of the Shang heartland, in the region of present-day Shandong and the Huai River, named in late Shang oracle-bone inscriptions. The last Shang kings, Di Yi and Di Xin, fought long campaigns against them. They are usually identified with the peoples later called the Dongyi or Yi.
