What's the use of Oracle Bone Inscriptions?

Oracle Bone Inscriptions is the oldest writing found in China at present. He is usually written on tortoise shells or animal bones, which is hieroglyphics.

In ancient times, Oracle Bone Inscriptions could not only seal characters, but also play the role of divination. The ancients usually drilled holes in tortoise shells.

Grilled on the fire, good or bad can be judged by the cracks in the Oracle bones. At the same time, tortoise shells and some animal bones (such as tiger bones and lynx bones) are good medicinal materials.
