甲骨文,河南安阳殷墟出土,乃商朝后半期殷代帝王利用龟甲兽骨进行占卦时写刻的一种所谓卜辞,也间或有少量与占卜有关的其他偶然的记事文字。这种所谓甲骨卜辞,虽然严格地说起来并不是什么历史记载,但是因为它的数量繁多,内容丰富,又因为时代比较早,无疑是研究我国古文字和古代史、特别是研究商代历史的最重要的直接史料。 Oracle, unearthed in Yin Ruins of Anyang, Henan Province, were the so-called “divination” inscriptions made by Emperor Yin of the Tortoise shell during the second half of the Shang dynasty, and occasionally with a few other occasional notepads related to divination. Although the so-called oracle inscriptions are not strictly historical records, they are undoubtedly the most ancient and ancient Chinese texts, especially the ones that studied the history of the Shang dynasty, because of their large number and rich content. Important direct historical material.
