The Oracle is an ancient script that is the most significant archaeological discovery in China in the 20th century. The discovery of the oracle bone confirms the existence of the Shang Dynasty. The discovery of oracle bones was an accidental thing, at that time there was a chinese medicine seller, collected a lot of "keel", in fact, turtle shells, animal bones and the like, and then this businessman sold the keel to a scholar, this scholar accidentally found that there was a word on this keel. As a result, the oracle bone was discovered, and then people began to vigorously study the oracle bone, the world's earliest script is the cuneiform script of the Two Rivers Valley, and then the oracle bone.
However, archaeologists at Shandong University, Professor Liu Fengjun, have concentrated on finding a text 1,000 years earlier than the oracle bone in Shandong - bone inscription. This bone inscription is the earliest script in China, but Western scholars say: It is absolutely impossible. Why do Western scholars deny this? Bone inscriptions and oracle bones are not the same, but also very similar, bone inscriptions are simpler chronicles, formed 4600 years ago, bone inscriptions are really 1000 years older than oracle bones.
The formation of bone inscriptions, because it is earlier than the oracle bone, the shape of the bone inscription is closer to the actual text, archaeologists have taken a lot of effort to interpret the bone inscription. But Western scholars believe that this is not writing, because it just looks like it is scribbling. Why isn't Oracle? However, the bone inscription is the origin of Chinese characters, and it is also the predecessor of the oracle bone, and the bone inscription and the oracle bone are also relatively close. At that time, some archaeologists suspected that this might be another kind of oracle bone, so they began to age the bone inscription. But no matter how they identified it, the age of the bone inscription was indeed a thousand years longer than the oracle bone.
Bone inscriptions are a testimony to China's ancient civilization, and the age of cuneiform scripts is a little earlier than that of oracle bones, but the age of bone inscriptions is earlier than cuneiform writing. This basically determined that the four major ancient civilizations in the world at that time, the oldest country, was ancient China. The time of the origin of Chinese civilization is again advanced by a thousand years. The discoveries of archaeologists have quietly changed the history of China, and have also deeply proved that the legend of China's ancient emperors is not fictional.
The Xia Dynasty period is often referred to as the ancient period, this period has a lot of myths and stories, and it is precisely because of this that China's ancient period was covered with a thick layer of mystery. The records of the Xia Dynasty are very few, this dynasty mostly appears in mythological stories, and archaeologists have never found the ruins of the Xia Dynasty, the earliest only found the sites of the Shang Dynasty, so the Xia Dynasty era is considered by foreign scholars to be an alternate era, a false era.
Foreigners do not believe that the Xia Dynasty in China is real, they have a deep doubt about this dynasty in our country, because of its age, we lack evidence to prove the existence of a Xia Dynasty. The bone inscription overturned their ideas and proved that the Xia Dynasty was a real civilization. The Xia Dynasty was already a dynasty more than 4,000 years ago, and now the emergence of bone inscriptions proves that China already had a written civilization 4,000 years ago, which not only further confirms the existence of the Xia Dynasty, but also proves that our country is the oldest ancient civilization in the world.
