Abby Juan Qin Graphic designer from China, who studied at the Willem de Kooning Academy (2014-2015) and the China Central Academy of Fine Arts, and works in Amsterdam. She created a great document on the Chinese oracle bone script and explains: Oracle bone script refers to incised ancient Chinese characters found on oracle bones which were animal bones or turtle shells used in divination during Bronze Age in China. The vast majority of records of oracle script are the pyromantic divinations of the royal house of the late Shang dynasty at the capital of Yin. The date of the Anyang examples of oracle bone script extends from ca.14th to the 11th centuries BC to c.1200-1050 BC. The oracle bone script of the late Shang appears pictographic, as does the Shang writing on bronzes. The earliest examples of oracle bone script appear even more pictographic than examples from later in the period, thus suggestion some evolution did occur over the roughly 200-year period.
