DESCRIPTION:biography\npublications\nflyer\n\n\nAlthough such terms as pei
 si 配祀 literally meaning “matching ritual”\, peixiang 配享 “mat
 ching offerings”\, peiji 配祭 “matching sacrifice”\, and peiji 配
 食 “matching food offering” to express “jointly offering sacrifices
  to the deceased or conducting certain ritual activities are terms not in 
 the contemporary to the late Shang language (ca. 13th c. – 11th c. B.C.E
 .)\, their actual practices seem to have been carried out as early as in S
 hang times. Through an analysis of the oracle-bone inscriptions (OBI) in w
 hich the words bin 賓 ‘to entertain\; to treat … as a guest’ and zu
 o 坐 ‘to sit\; to seat’ are used\, coupled with the use of the so-cal
 led “handle-shaped jade objects” discovered in a Shang tomb in Anyang 
 Hougang 安陽后崗 in 1991 that bear such ancestral names as Zu Geng 祖
 庚 ‘Ancestor Geng’\, Zu Jia 祖甲 ‘Ancestor Jia’\, Fu Xin 父辛
  ‘Father Xin’\, and Fu Gui 父癸 ‘Father Gui’\, the paper attempt
 s to show how concretely such joint sacrifices and rituals might actually 
 have been carried out.\nKen-ichi Takashima\, University of British Columb
