Wikipedia definition
4. ShangdiShangdi, also known as Di in Oracle Bone inscriptions and Thirteen Classics, refers to the supreme god or a divine power regarded as the spiritual ultimate by the Chinese people from the Shang Dynasty. He controlled victory in battle, harvest, the fate of the kingdom, and the weather. Shang Di ruled a hierarchy of other gods controlling nature, as well as the spirits of the deceased. Shangdi was probably more transcendental than immanent, only working through lesser gods.
