Brief introduction of Oracle Bone Inscriptions

Oracle Bone Inscriptions refers to the characters carved on tortoise shell bones to record divination in Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Since the end of 19, more than 1 00000 pieces of written divination Oracle bones have been unearthed from the ruins of Yin Ruins in Anyang, Henan Province, most of which are relics of the royal family in the late Shang Dynasty (about 14 BC to1century BC). After the founding of the People's Republic of China, several batches of Oracle Bone Inscriptions in the Western Zhou Dynasty were discovered in Shaanxi and other places, but the number was much less than that in Yin Ruins.
