于1899年夏季,国子监祭酒王懿荣 unexpectedly stumbled upon peculiar turtle shell fragments, engraved with intricate designs that left him stunned. As a renowned scholar of ancient characters, he instantly sensed their resemblance to an extinct ancient script.
Prior to this discovery, the understanding of Chinese history was confined to the year 841 BCE, the first recorded year of China's official history as documented by the historical bureau. However, these shell patterns appeared even older than the oldest known Chinese characters. Could they possibly hold clues to an even more ancient Chinese history? Curiosity piqued, King Yi-Huang delved deeply into the study of these fragments, unveiling the mysteries of the Shang Dynasty's inscriptions.
