Oracle Cellar

Yinxu-Oracle point, since the discovery of Oracle at the end of the nineteenth century, about150000 pieces of oracle and more than 4,000 lists have been unearthed here, which has made a splash in the world for a while. It also provides extremely valuable information for Oracle and Shang Dynasty historical data, which is also known as the earliest "archive library" of ancient China and even mankind.

In the Yinxu Scenic Area, an exhibition hall shows a deep pit of excavation of a large number of oracle bones in the 1930s. This should be the warehouse for storing documents and materials in the palace of the Shang Dynasty. A large number of oracle bones were found here in the 1930s. After discovery, they were shipped to Nanjing. It is crucial for the study of Oracle. It provides a detailed account of the discoveries and excavations here, and shows some of the excavated Oracle.

Yinxu is indeed a very magical place, in the Anyang River, less than two kilometers perimeter area, can unearth a large number of palace foundations, copper cars, horses, oracles, and even frightening sacrifice human bones, it seems that the scope of activities of the ancients is not large. The exhibition hall has now been built on the oracle acupoint, and the history and related knowledge of the oracle excavation are introduced on the walls around. In the middle of the pit about two meters in diameter, a large number of decks are stacked in layers. It is said that more than 17,000 pieces were excavated in that year, which is really shocking. Most of the products I saw on TV before were enlarged prints, but I only knew at the scene that the Oracle was engraved on the bones of turtles and cows, which was actually a row of dense small texts. Whether it was the fine carving of the ancient authors or the serious study of the scholars of the future generations, I was so impressed.

At the end of the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century, the greatest archaeological discovery in Chinese history, and one of the greatest archaeological discoveries in the history of the world, the Oracle was unearthed in Yin Ruins of Anyang. The unearthed Oracle not only directly proves the existence of the Shang Dynasty, but also provides a new interpretation of the development of Chinese writing.

Oracle point, located in the Yinxu site of Anyang City, has unearthed a large number of oracle bones, more than 17,000 pieces, recorded the Yin Shang period of sacrifice, astronomy, geography, military and other information, for historical research to provide precious historical materials. The unearthed oracle was transported to Taiwan by Lao Jiang's national government during the liberation war, and the oracle hole only retains the large pit of the original unearthed cultural relics, but it is shocking enough.
