It also confirmed the authenticity of a series of documents, including Historical Records, and pushed forward the recorded history of Chinese civilization for nearly five centuries.
Among the four ancient writing systems in the world, only the ancient writing system of China, represented by Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Yin Ruins, has written a profound history of Chinese civilization after thousands of years.
At present, there are 4500 pieces of Oracle bones 150000 unearthed in Yin Ruins, of which about 1500 words have been released. Over the past 3000 years, although Oracle Bone Inscriptions has undergone changes in different writing forms, such as inscriptions on bronze, seal script, official script and regular script, the characters and basic grammar with the characteristics of form, sound and meaning have been preserved to this day, becoming the square characters still used by one fifth of the world's population today, which has had an important impact on the way of thinking and aesthetics of China people and laid the foundation for the emergence and development of China's calligraphy art.
