The development of different scripts such as seal script, official script and regular script, and the preservation of the most basic methods such as character shape, pronunciation, and character meaning, is the source of Chinese characters. Secondly, the oracle bone inscriptions are rich in records, which fully reflect the scientific and cultural level of the people in the Yin Shang period. In addition, some of the speculation and fortune-telling activities recorded in the oracle bone inscriptions can also reflect the thinking and logical reasoning of the Yin people.

It is the earliest mature Chinese character that we can see, mainly referring to the script engraved on tortoise shell or animal bone used by the royal family in the late Shang Dynasty to tell hexagrams, and is a carrier of the earliest systematic Shang Dynasty script known in China and East Asia.

It was first used in Anyang, Henan.

The villagers of Xiaotun Village found, at that time they did not know that this was an ancient relic, only as a cure for all diseases of the medicinal material "keel" use, many carved high oracle bone bones of the tortoiseshell animal bones into powder, waste a lot of extremely valuable cultural relics, later, the late Qing Dynasty, the gold and stone scientist Wang Yirong in the Guangxu Duan 25 years (1899) treatment from the oracle bone from Henan Anyang found the location of the oracle bone inscription. Over the past 100 years, more than 154,600 oracle bones have been unearthed through archaeological excavations and other means.

China's ancestors created a glorious historical civilization, among which the oracle bone inscriptions of the Xia and Shang dynasties and the bronzes of the Yin Shang Dynasty are all historical symbols of human civilization. The discovery and study of oracle bone inscriptions have enabled us to understand the history of China, thus unveiling the veil of historical mystery. The history of writing in our country began with the Shang Dynasty, that is, the oracle bone inscription of the Shang Dynasty, because there were symbols on the pottery before the Xia, but there were too few to show the appearance of the text at that time.

Of course, our current writing is derived from oracle bone scripts, from oracle bone scripts to golden scripts, large and small seals, to official scripts and regular scripts, reflecting the process of development and change of Chinese characters.
