The earliest Oracle Bone Inscriptions in China was mentioned in Love is China. Do you know where it was found?

According to legend, in the 25th year of Guangxu in the late Qing Dynasty (1899), Wang, a native of Fushan, Shandong Province, suffered from malaria in Beijing, and asked a doctor for treatment. The doctor too much prescribed a prescription after taking the pulse, in which the "keel" is a commonly used kidney-tonifying drug. Wang asked his family to go to Darentang, an old Chinese medicine doctor outside Xuanwu Gate, to buy medicine according to the prescription. After the medicine was bought back, Wang opened the medicine bag and checked it one by one. He happened to find that the "keel" in the medicine bag was engraved with a kind of character similar to seal script but with low recognition. This discovery surprised him greatly. Wang was a famous epigraphist at that time, and he had profound attainments in ancient philology. These strange characters on the "keel" aroused his great interest. He got to the bottom of it and sent someone to the Chinese medicine shop to buy all the "keels" with words. After careful study, he initially concluded that these "keels" were engraved with a very old text, which was not "keels" at all, but animal bones used for divination in Shang Dynasty. The world-famous Oracle Bone Inscriptions was discovered in such an accidental opportunity. This story may be a legend, but Wang is the first scholar who contacted and bought Oracle Bone Inscriptions and made a preliminary appraisal of Oracle Bone Inscriptions, which is consistent with the actual situation.

It should be said that these "keels" were first discovered by farmers in Xiaotun Village, northwest suburb of Anyang, Henan. But they don't know the value, they just sell it as a Chinese herbal medicine "keel" to pharmacies. Drugstores don't buy those with words, but cut them off with a shovel and sell them again, thus destroying a lot of precious Oracle Bone Inscriptions materials. In the 24th year of Guangxu (1898), Fan, an antique dealer, noticed the lettering "keel" and told the poor scholars Meng and Wang Xiang who were in Tianjin at that time. When they heard this, they thought it was ancient seal cutting. In the autumn of the following year, Fan bought some lettering "keels" and gave them to Wang, a famous epigraphist who served as a wine supplier in imperial academy at that time. Wang thought it was a kind of "tortoise edition" engraved with ancient Chinese characters, so he paid a high price for it. Therefore, Oracle Bone Inscriptions has attracted great attention from academic circles, and has become an important and precious material for studying the ancient history, culture and civilization of China.
