Oracle Bone Inscriptions

Earliest known Chinese writing, inscribed on bones and shells

Carved on animal bones and turtle shells, these inscriptions preserve the earliest known substantial records of Chinese writing. Shang rulers used the bones in divination, interpreting cracks made by heat. The texts record questions about harvests, warfare and royal affairs, offering evidence of life more than 3,000 years ago.
