by Xu Jinxiong
About This Novel
Mr. Xu Jinxiong, an authoritative international scholar of oracle bones, was a researcher at the Royal Ontario Museum in Canada and organized the collection of oracle bones. In his research work, he proposed the dating method of oracle bone drilling morphology, which had a great influence on the oracle bone inscriptions world and was praised as "one of the twenty-five scholars who have made the most contributions to oracle bone science". In this book, after rigorous research and textual research, Teacher Xu starts from the oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang Dynasty, illustrates the origin and evolution of each character with illustrations, uses a large number of illustrations to support the discovery of the oracle bone inscriptions, and uses the oracle bone inscriptions to explain the living customs, social systems, sacrificial inscriptions and other environments at that time. The book explains the development of oracle bone inscriptions and the creative analysis of characters in the form of thirteen lessons. It contains nearly a thousand oracle bone inscriptions and teaches readers how to gain insights into the secrets and thinking of ancient people from oracle bone inscriptions. Even readers who are not researchers of oracle bone literature can appreciate the fun. In addition, he writes about the process of cooperation with Canadian doctors, revealing how the mystery of divination through cracks in burned oracle bones can be explained by modern science.
