Oracle Bone Inscriptions's comments are as follows:

Oracle Bone Inscriptions is an ancient script in China, also known as Wen Qi, Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Yin Ruins or tortoise shell and animal bones. It is the earliest mature Chinese character we can see, mainly referring to the characters carved on tortoise shells or animal bones by the royal family in the late Shang Dynasty in China. It is the earliest known written carrier of Shang Dynasty in China and East Asia.

It was first discovered by villagers in Xiaotun Village, Anyang, Henan Province. At that time, they didn't know it was an ancient relic, but only regarded it as a medicinal "keel" that could cure all diseases. Many tortoise shells and animal bones engraved with Oracle Bone Inscriptions were ground into powder, wasting many extremely precious cultural relics.

Later, in the 25th year of Guangxu (1899), Wang, an official and epigraphist in the late Qing Dynasty, discovered the location of Oracle Bone Inscriptions from the Oracle bones unearthed in Anyang, Henan.

character trait

Judging from the characters on Oracle bones, they already have the three elements of China's calligraphy, namely, writing, writing and composition. His brushwork lines are neat and thin, straight and thick, and his strokes are multi-folded, which has an influence on the pen and knife of seal cutting in later generations. From the perspective of structural fonts, the characters not only have changes, although they vary in size, they are relatively balanced and symmetrical, and also present a stable pattern.

Therefore, from the perspective of composition, although influenced by the size and shape of bone chips, it still shows the carving skills and artistic characteristics of words. "oracle calligraphy" became popular among some calligraphers and calligraphy lovers, which proved its charm.
