How did Oracle Bone Inscriptions find out? Why did the earliest unearthed Oracle Bone Inscriptions say it was a keel?

It is said that a man surnamed Wang in Qing Dynasty got malaria and went to see a doctor. The doctor prescribed a medicine called keel. It is said that someone took this kind of keel back to Wang Xing's court officials. When he went back, the man looked at himself and found some symbols on the keel. He is very interested in these, and he is very proficient. Later, I bought a lot of keels and studied them carefully. Later, I found that they were actually a regular character symbol, which was earlier than the bronze inscriptions, so I started a lot of acquisitions. Later, it was found that the birthplace of this thing was in Henan, and finally the site was discovered.

The origin of this word is earlier than that recorded at that time. It's normal to call it keel. It was originally carved on the back of a tortoise or the shoulder blade of a cow. Later, as long as it was written on animal bones, it was called Oracle Bone Inscriptions.

It is said that this writing method should be used for divination and good luck at the earliest. Ancient people still believed in the gods, thinking that if they offended God, they would be plagued by bad luck for life, so they began to write down their wishes and thoughts on the bones of this animal and record their daily lives. Now this kind of writing has become a hot spot for archaeologists to study. We can get people's thoughts at that time, understand people's life and daily affairs at that time and study the culture of an era.

Now we call the birthplace of Oracle Bone Inscriptions Yin Shang Site, where there are many introductions about the origin of Oracle Bone Inscriptions, which are displayed in the exhibition hall. All kinds of archaeologists and history lovers like to see it. All kinds of Oracle bones reflect the civilization of an era, which is of great significance to further understand the ancient civilization of China.
