If you’re interested in exploring ancient Chinese script, the Anyang Chinese Character Museum is an exceptional venue for discovering and studying primitive writing. Here, you’ll encounter some of the oldest Chinese characters, which are etched into tortoise shells and animal bones. These inscriptions, typically found on the oracle bones from the Shang Dynasty, are predominantly connected to prognostications made during divinations, which is why scholars refer to them as divinatory inscriptions.
Today’s exhibition includes exquisite bronze artifacts, chariot pits, and insights into the harsh rituals surrounding royal deaths, including human and animal sacrifices that accompanied rulers into the afterlife.
