甲骨文
甲骨文(oracle bone script)是中國現(xiàn)存最早的文宇。這些刻在龜甲(tortoise shell)或獸骨上的文字已相當(dāng)成熟。沒認(rèn)識甲骨文之前,人們都把這些甲骨當(dāng)作藥材。清代(the Qing Dynasty)學(xué)者王懿榮偶然發(fā)現(xiàn)了這些龜甲和獸骨。在仔細(xì)研究之后,他認(rèn)為這些刻在甲骨上的符號是3000多年前商代(the Shang Dynasty)的文字。從這些文字中可以大致了解商代統(tǒng)治者的日常生活情況。甲骨文為研究漢字起源提供了重要的資料。

The oracle bone script is the earliest existing characters in China. These characters carved on tortoise shells or animal bones are quite mature. Before recognizing the oracle bone script, people regarded the shells and bones as medical materials. Accidentally, ascholar of the Qing Dynasty, Wang Yirong, discovered these tortoise shells and animal bones. After careful study, he believed that these signs were the characters of the Shang Dynasty more than 3,000 years ago. From these characters, people can roughly understand the daily life of the rulers at that time. The oracle bone script provides important materials for research into the origin of Chinese characters.
