The oracle bones are the earliest systematic writing system ever discovered. Since its discovery more than a century ago, oracle bone writing has become an internationally recognized science. It is also believed to be the earliest formed script in East Asia.
Oracle Bone Script, inherited from the primitive wall carving symbols, the next Bronze inscribed gold text, the late Shang Dynasty divination, carved on animal bones or tortoise shells on the text. Ancient oracle bone writing is how to find?
One, the oracle bone is called "dragon bone", is a valuable medicinal herbs
129 years ago in the summer, in the capital as an official Wang Yirong suffered from a contagious malaria, so he was restless, tossing and turning.
In the same year, in Xiaotun Village, Anyang, Henan Province, there was a man called Li Cheng, who had the misfortune to get abscesses on his legs, so painful that he almost lost his life.
Wang Yirong in the court as an official, the position of the Hanlin Academy of the State Council, not a lack of money, not worry about food and clothing, see a doctor is not a problem ......
A cloth Li Cheng but because of the poor living conditions, there is no money to treat the disease treatment, the condition is getting worse day by day.
The torment of the disease, Wang Yirong found a famous old Chinese medicine in the capital, for him to find the name of a medicine called "Dragon Bone", came back to eat, the disease body recovery.
Li Cheng poverty under the helpless, a sudden idea, to the village outside the field, looking for some dragon bone pieces, cracked and put into the garlic mortar mashed, applied to the leg sores.
Unexpectedly, the leg abscess not only does not hurt, the sore was miraculously "keel piece" powder sucked dry.
Occupational sensitivity, Wang Yirong in the treatment period, vaguely see the "dragon bone" on some of the symbols do not understand .
Because he was also responsible for the study of goldsmithing at the time, Wang Yirong felt that there is a great deal to be done, so he paid a lot of money to buy back a lot of dragon bones, the most he collected more than 1,500 pieces.
Li Cheng, a commoner, was not interested in culture, but since he discovered that "dragon bones" could cure abscesses and malaria, he was very excited and happy because he found a "business opportunity".
Li Cheng quietly will be spilled in the fields of bone fragments, are collected, on the one hand, to the use of "dragon bone" to see a disease, on the one hand, and then to the drugstore sold for money.
