About This Novel
This book is mainly based on Professor Liu Zhao's "New Oracle Bone Inscriptions (Updated Edition)" and includes commonly used characters that have been interpreted in Oracle Bone Inscriptions. The dictionary uses "Shi" characters (now commonly used Chinese characters) as units. Under one prefix, the corresponding multiple oracle bone character patterns are included, and the source is indicated. It also points out which characters the prefix can be used in calligraphy writing. Therefore, it is convenient and reliable for both academic retrieval and calligrapher reference fonts. The first column at the front of the book is a rigorous and easy-to-understand compilation instructions; the second column is a "Character Source Abbreviation Table", which states the source of the fonts. There are both classic works such as Guo Moruo's "Oracle Bone Inscriptions Collection" and the latest results such as a paper published in the "Archaeology" magazine in 2018. There are two retrieval methods, pinyin and strokes, at the back of the book, and there is a postscript written by Professor Liu Zhao at the end. This book can be used not only as a reference book for professional researchers to facilitate review, but also as an introductory step for beginners to become familiar with oracle bone inscriptions. It can also be used as a desk essential for the majority of oracle bone calligraphy enthusiasts when writing oracle bone inscriptions.
