There is another story about Oracle Bone Inscriptions's discovery: During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a man named Wang, who was an official of imperial academy, the highest institution of learning at that time. Once he saw that Chinese medicine was called keel, and he felt strange, so he turned over the dregs. He didn't expect that there was a seemingly literal pattern on it. So he bought all the keels and found that there were similar patterns on each keel. He is sure that this is a kind of writing, which should be from the Yin and Shang Dynasties. People found the place where the keel was unearthed-Xiaotun Village, Anyang, Henan Province, where a large number of keels were unearthed. Because these keels are mainly Oracle Bone Inscriptions of turtles and mammals, they are named "Oracle Bone Inscriptions", and the subject of studying them is called "Oracle bones".

Oracle Bone Inscriptions is an ancient script in China, which is regarded as an early form of modern Chinese characters, and is sometimes regarded as one of the characters of Chinese characters. It is also the oldest mature script in China. Oracle Bone Inscriptions is also known as Wen Qi, tortoise shell script or tortoise shell animal bone script. Oracle Bone Inscriptions is a very important material of ancient Chinese characters. Most Oracle Bone Inscriptions were found in Yin Ruins, which is a famous site of Shang Dynasty. The scope includes Xiaotun Village, Huayuanzhuang and Houjiazhuang in the northwest of Anyang City, Henan Province. It was once the capital of the central dynasty in the last years of Yin Shang Dynasty, so it was called Yin Ruins. These Oracle Bone Inscriptions are basically the divination records of Shang rulers. The rulers of Shang Dynasty were very superstitious, such as whether there would be a disaster, whether it would rain, whether there would be a good harvest of crops, whether the war could be won, and which ghosts and gods should be sacrificed in ten days. So things like fertility, diseases, dreams and so on. We should know the will of ghosts and gods and the good or bad of things through divination. The materials used for divination are mainly tortoise's abdominal shell, carapace and cattle's scapula. Usually, some small holes are dug or drilled on the back of Oracle bones for divination, which Oracle Bone Inscriptions experts call "drilling". During divination, heating these pits will cause cracks on the surface of Oracle bones. This crack is called "trillion", just like an omen. People engaged in divination judge good or bad luck according to various forms of divination. According to Oracle Bone Inscriptions in the Shang Dynasty, Chinese characters at that time had developed into a complete writing system that could be written in Chinese. In the discovered Oracle Bone Inscriptions of Yin Ruins, the number of words has reached about 4000. There are a lot of signifiers, pictographs, cognitive characters, and many pictographs. These characters are quite different in appearance from those we use now.

At present, there are about 1.5 million pieces of Oracle bones with more than 4,500 words. The contents recorded by Oracle Bone Inscriptions are extremely rich, involving many aspects of social life in Shang Dynasty, including not only politics, military affairs, culture and social customs, but also astronomy, calendar, medicine and other science and technology. Judging from the recognized character 1500 in Oracle Bone Inscriptions, the method of "pictographic, knowing, pictophonetic, referring to things, transferring notes and borrowing words" has been developed, which shows the unique charm of China characters. The documents of Shang Dynasty and early Western Zhou Dynasty in China (about BC 16 ~ BC 10) are based on tortoise shells and animal bones, and are the earliest known forms of China documents. Now commonly known as Oracle Bone Inscriptions. Due to superstition, Shang and Zhou emperors used tortoise shells (common in tortoise shells) or animal bones (common in cattle scapula) for divination, and then carved divination related matters (such as divination time, diviner, divination content, divination result, verification, etc. ) in the Oracle Bone Inscriptions, and preserved by the royal historian as archival materials (see Oracle Bone Inscriptions archives). There are some notes and inscriptions in Oracle Bone Inscriptions's dedication. Oracle Bone Inscriptions's dedication covers astronomy, calendar, meteorology, geography, country, lineage, family, figures, officials, conquest, prison, agriculture, animal husbandry, hunting, transportation, religion, sacrifice, disease, birth and disaster.
