What does Oracle Bone Inscriptions's discovery have to do with ants?

Oracle Bone Inscriptions's discovery is related to the keel of traditional Chinese medicine.

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. The earliest mature Chinese characters we can see mainly refer to the characters carved on tortoise shells or animal bones by the royal family in China in the late Shang Dynasty, which is a carrier of the earliest systematic Shang Dynasty characters known in China and East Asia.

It was first discovered by villagers in Xiaotun Village, Anyang, Henan Province. They didn't know it was an ancient relic at that time. It is only used as a "keel" for treating all diseases. Many tortoise shells and animal bones engraved with Oracle Bone Inscriptions were ground into powder, wasting many extremely precious cultural relics. Later, Wang Zaiguang Xu, an official and epigraphist at the end of Qing Dynasty, took this Oracle bone from Anyang, Henan Province when he was treating a disease for twenty-five years.

Found the location of Oracle Bone Inscriptions. Over the past century, more than 54,600 pieces of Oracle bones/KLOC-0 have been unearthed in the local area through archaeological excavations. In addition, Oracle Bone Inscriptions also appeared in other parts of Henan and Shaanxi, from the late Shang Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period. Oracle Bone Inscriptions has a symmetrical and stable pattern.

Calligraphy has three elements, namely, using a pen, finishing words and composing music. Judging from the number and structure of fonts, Oracle Bone Inscriptions has developed into a more rigorous and systematic writing. The "six-character" principle of Chinese characters is reflected in Oracle Bone Inscriptions. However, the traces of the original pictures and words are still obvious, and the meaning of pictographs is also obvious.
