How do we know about things that happened thousands of years ago, when there were no videos or photos? One answer is written records. The earliest written records of Chinese culture are known as oracle bone inscriptions(甲骨文).
More than 3,000 years ago, people in the Shang Dynasty(17th—11th century BCE) liked to ask fortune tellers(占卜师) about the future. For example, what would the weather be like next week? Where should I go to make money? Would my wife give birth to a boy or a girl? From work to love, people asked questions about many topics. The fortune teller would write the question on an oracle bone, heat it up, and then read the cracks(裂纹) in it to find an answer.
Tens of thousands of oracle bones have been found so far. They can tell us a great deal about how people lived during the Shang Dynasty. "They help us understand the origins of Chinese philosophy(哲学) and thought, and find out where our culture comes from," Song Zhenhao, a leading oracle bone expert, told China Daily.
In addition to telling us about ancient Chinese culture, the oracle bones are also key to understanding the growth and development of the written form of the Chinese language. Many of the characters we use today are similar to those used 3,000 years ago. "The oracle bone inscriptions, as the earliest-known form of Chinese characters, stand for the beauty and specificity of a language that has been passed down," said Chen Nan, a professor at Tsinghua University.
In 2017, UNESCO added oracle bone inscriptions to its Memory of the World Register(世界记忆名录). They are indeed an important memory of ancient China.
