The Long Night in Yinxu, Black Birds and Stars Sinking

Xuanniiao fell into the fire and surrendered to the Shang Dynasty, Cheng Tang Ming Tiao destroyed Xia Jie, Pan Geng moved to Yin to establish his foundation, and Wu Ding revived and expanded the territory. This novel uses oracle bone inscriptions as the bones and bronze inscriptions as the soul to connect the rise and fall of the Shang Dynasty over six hundred years and 31 emperors. From the tribal alliance to the overlord of the Fang Kingdom, see how the black bird totem is transformed into the Taotie pattern on the bronze ritual vessels; from the human sacrifice of oracle bones to the stepmother Wu Ding, see the struggle of the slave dynasty between divine power and royal power. In the final chapter, the autumn wind blows in Muye, and under the firelight of Lutai, Daji's hosta and Weizi's slips are buried in the loess, leaving only a piece of oracle bone in the ground, engraved with the last inscriptions of the dynasty.
