the origin of Oracle Bone Inscriptions
Oracle Bone Inscriptions is the earliest written language in the history of China, which started in the late Shang dynasty, from 14th century BC to 11th century BC, and has been used for about 4 years. Oracle Bone Inscriptions originated from the written symbols carved on the shells of turtles, deer, birds and animals and the bones of cattle, sheep and pigs in Shang Dynasty.
According to archaeologists' speculation, in Shang Dynasty, people would barbecue the crustaceans of turtles, deer, birds, animals and other animal bones or cattle, sheep and pigs during divination, and when they cracked, they regarded the cracked part as a prophecy or a prophecy given by the gods, and portrayed the corresponding answers or prophecies on it. This is the origin of Oracle Bone Inscriptions. In the Shang Dynasty, Oracle Bone Inscriptions was mainly used in the sacrificial activities of the ancestral temple and various forms of Oracle, including astronomical phenomena, climate, war, disease, sacrifice, architecture, commerce and so on.
