The oracle bone script was a type of ancient China script. It was an early form of Chinese characters and was also considered one of the calligraphy styles of Chinese characters. It was the oldest mature script in the current China dynasty. It was first unearthed in the Yin Ruins of Anyang City, Henan Province. The inscriptions on bones and tortoise shells were also known as the contract inscriptions, oracle bone inscriptions, and Yin Ruins characters. They were characters carved on tortoiseshells or animal bones by the royal family in the late Shang Dynasty for divination and recording. It was the earliest mature writing system in East Asia. Together with the hieroglyphic script of ancient Egypt, the cuneiform script of the two river basins, and the Mayan script of the United States, it was the world's four ancient scripts. It was of great significance to the development of human civilization. It was generally believed that Wang Yirong, a scholar of epigraphy in the late Qing Dynasty, discovered the oracle bone inscriptions on the oracle bones in Anyang, Henan Province. At present, the era of studying oracle bone inscriptions was mainly from the late Yin Shang and the early Western Zhou Dynasty, which was 273 years from the time Pangeng moved to the Yin Dynasty to the fall of Zhou Xin, the eighth generation and twelve kings. The inventor of the oracle bone inscriptions might be the Zhenren who was responsible for divination during the Yin Shang Dynasty. Dong Zuobin divided the Shang Oracle Bone Inscriptions of the year 273 into five periods according to ten standards. Each period had its own unique style of calligraphy. The main materials used to inscribe the oracle bone inscriptions were the tortoise shell, tortoise shell, and the shoulder blade of a cow. The content of the inscriptions was mainly divination inscriptions, but there were also a small number of records and table inscriptions. Later works recorded the contents of the oracle bone inscriptions in the form of rubbings, photographs, and copies. The inscriptions on bones and tortoise shells had a strong pictographic nature, and the handwriting style was uncertain, so it was extremely flexible. In 1928, the archeological team of the Institute of History and Language of the Academies of China organized the excavation of the Yin Ruins. Over the past hundred years, more than 100,000 pieces of oracle bones had been unearthed through archaeological excavation and other means. In addition, oracle bone inscriptions also appeared in other areas of Henan and Shaanxi. According to statistics, as of 2019, there were about 160,000 pieces of oracle bone inscriptions collected in China and around the world. Through the joint efforts of several generations of scholars represented by the "four halls of oracle bones", the study of oracle bones had become a world-wide mature discipline with strict laws. It had achieved fruitful results in the collection of materials, the study of characters, the study of Shang history, the study of archaeology, and the interpretation of characters. At present, there were more than 4000 characters in the oracle bone inscriptions unearthed. The oracle bone inscriptions that had been examined and explained were about 2000 characters. Among all the characters that had been explained, there were less than 1000 words that could be confirmed. The discovery of oracle bone inscriptions had brought forward the history of China by more than 1,000 years. It had also played an immeasurable role in the study of ancient Chinese characters. It played a fundamental role in the formation and evolution of Chinese characters.
