Graphic text is generally engraved on clay tablets, which is mysterious and difficult to understand. The Sumerian civilization was probably the earliest known human civilization, and the graphic writing it created was not similar to any other known language, where did the Sumerians come from.
Where the Sumerian civilization originated remains a mystery to this day.

The oracle bone inscription, also known as "Qiwen", "Oracle Bone Bu Ci", "Yinxu Script" or "Tortoiseshell Beast Bone Inscription", is the earliest mature writing system found in China so far, and is the source of Chinese characters and the root of China's excellent traditional culture. The remains of oracle bone inscriptions in the early Shang Dynasty are mainly found in Zhengzhou**, and the late Shang Dynasty is represented by the Yin Ruins in Anyang.
The oracle bone inscription is the most important text in the late Shang Dynasty, and the archaeological discovery has a large number of bones, totaling more than 100,000 pieces, the content is mainly the divination record of the Shang royal family, and the family emblem of the tribes of many states can also be seen. The oracle bone inscription has about 4,000 words and reflects the basic composition of the text symbol system. The oracle bone inscription already has various types of Chinese character configurations, as well as the "four bodies" in the traditional "Six Books", that is, pictograms, signifiers, huiyi, and shape and sound, indicating that in the late Yin and Shang periods, the Chinese characters represented by the oracle bone inscription had basically established the configuration mode.
The background of the birth of Oracle
The royal family and nobles of the Shang Dynasty all sought the gods for divination from national events to private life, such as sacrifices, climate, harvests, expeditions, field hunting, sickness, childbirth, going out, etc., so as to know the good fortune and the good fortune to decide what to do. As a result, divination became a major event in the political life of the country, and the imperial court set up special institutions and diviners. The oracle bones with inscriptions are preserved as national archives and piled up in the cellars.
The Book of Rites and Tables contains: "Yin people respect gods, lead the people to serve gods, first ghosts and then rituals." "It is known that during the Yin Shang period, before dealing with large and small affairs, the king had to use oracle bones for divination, pray to ghosts and gods, and engrave the things asked on the oracle bones afterwards.
After the death of the Shang Dynasty, divination gradually became extinct in the Zhou Dynasty, and its writing gradually became unknown.

Anonymous users2024-02-02The earliest writing is cuneiform.
The world's earliest writing is cuneiform writing that appeared in the ancient Middle East, dating back 5,000 to 6,000 years ago. The earliest ancient Chinese script confirmed by the academic community is the Yinxu oracle bone inscription in the middle and late Shang Dynasty, which is only about 3,300 years ago.
Cuneiform originated from the ancient script of the Mesopotamian plain (Tigris and Euphrates River basins), the earliest civilization of mankind, and this world's earliest script was invented by the Sumerians around 3200 BC, so it is said to be one of the earliest scripts in the world.
The structure is simple and straightforward
The number of cuneiform characters was gradually simplified and abstracted from the original hieroglyphic system, and the number of characters decreased from about 1,000 in the early Bronze Age to about 400 in the late Bronze Age.
Most of the cuneiform scripts that have been found have been written in clay tablet cavities or on them, and a few on stone, metal, or wax tablets. The scribe used sharpened reed rods or wooden sticks to carve on soft clay tablets, which became hard and difficult to deform after being dried or roasted.
The cuneiform script is mainly carved on clay tablets, so the Namengwu lines are straight and wedge-shaped, and reed rods or wooden sticks are used to imprint on the clay tablets to facilitate writing, so most of the text strokes are triangular lines, and the glyphs have gradually evolved with the evolution of civilization, and gradually fixed the hieroglyphs into syllabic symbols.
