Once a Shang king died he was awarded a posthumous "temple-name" employing one of the ten "heavenly stems" (tian gan, a later term) that were also used to name the ten days of the Shang week. Thus, we find ancestors being worshipped as Dajia (jia being the name of the first day of the week), Da Yi (yi being the name of the second day of the week), and Wai Bing (bing being the third day of the week).
