第1部分 话题素材积累
Oracle bone script is the earliest known form of writing in China. According to archaeological evidence, it first appeared during the Shang Dynasty and was inscribed on turtle shells and animal bones.
甲骨文是中国已知最早的书写形式。根据现有的考古资料,甲骨文最早出现于商朝,它是刻写在龟甲和兽骨上的文字。
Oracle bone script originated from divination practices. Shang rulers and diviners would heat animal scapulae or turtle plastrons until cracks formed, interpreting the crack patterns as guidance from ancestors and deities regarding future weather, military actions, crop harvests, royal births, and other matters. They would then meticulously record the questions and corresponding answers on the oracle bones.
甲骨文源于占卜实践。商朝君主与卜官会加热动物肩胛骨或龟腹甲直至出现裂缝,将裂缝形态视为祖先与神灵对未来天气、军事行动、农作物收成、皇室生育等问题的启示,然后他们把问卜的问题与所得答案详尽地记录在甲骨上。
The discovery of oracle bone script is a story filled with chance occurrences. As early as the 1870s and 1880s, farmers near Xiaotun Village in Anyang, Henan Province would occasionally dig up turtle shells and animal bones with inscriptions, mistaking them for "dragon bones." According to local customs, these bones were believed to have medicinal value and were commonly sold to herbal medicine shops for grinding into powder to treat wounds. This marked the initial discovery of oracle bone script among the general population.
甲骨文的发现过程是一个充满偶然的故事。早在19世纪七八十年代,河南省安阳市小屯村附近的农民在田间劳作时,偶尔会挖出一些带有刻痕的龟甲和兽骨,以为是“龙骨”,并且按照当地的习俗,认为这些骨头具有药用价值,因此常将它们出售给中药铺,用于研磨成粉治疗创伤。这就是甲骨文在民间的初次发现。
In 1899, Wang Yirong, a Qing Dynasty official and epigrapher in Beijing, noticed peculiar symbols on the "dragon bones" he purchased for medicinal use. As an expert in studying ancient artifacts and scripts, he keenly realized that these symbols could be ancient writing. Wang immediately sent people to purchase a large number of these inscribed oracle bones from the medicine shops and conducted preliminary research on them. He confirmed that these symbols belonged to an ancient writing system even older than the known seal script, thus opening the academic study of oracle bone script.
1899年,北京的清代官员、金石学家王懿荣因病服药,发现所购中药中的“龙骨”上刻有奇特的符号。作为一名研究古代文物和文字的专家,他敏锐地意识到这些符号可能是古代的文字。王懿荣立即派人到药店大量收购这类刻有文字的甲骨,并对其进行了初步的研究。他确认这些符号是一种古老的文字体系,比已知的篆书更为久远,从而揭开了甲骨文的学术研究序幕。
Oracle bone script is complex in shape and consists of numerous pictographic and ideographic characters. It records the daily lives, social systems, religious beliefs, and various ritual activities of the Shang Dynasty people. Through the study of oracle bone script, we can gain insights into aspects of Shang Dynasty society such as social structure, religious concepts, and economic activities. The discovery of oracle bone script has played a significant role in the study of ancient Chinese history and the origin and evolution of Chinese characters.
甲骨文的形状复杂,由许多象形和象声字组成。甲骨文记录了商朝人们的日常生活、社会制度、宗教信仰以及各种祭祀活动。通过研究甲骨文,我们可以了解商朝时期的社会结构、宗教观念和经济活动等方面的信息。甲骨文的发现对于研究古代中国历史和汉字的起源与演变起到了重要作用。
With further research on oracle bone script, its historical value and academic significance have been widely recognized by the international scholarly community. In 2017, UNESCO included "Oracle Bone Inscriptions in China" in the Memory of the World Register, signifying the international acknowledgment of its importance as a cultural heritage of humanity.
随着甲骨文研究的深入,其历史价值和学术意义得到了国际学术界的广泛认同。2017年,联合国教科文组织将“甲骨文”列入《世界记忆名录》,标志着国际社会对其作为人类文明重要遗产的认可。

Oracle Bone Scripts
China’s oracle bone scripts, an ancient type of Chinese characters inscribed on animal bones or turtle shells, have successfully entered the UNESCO’s Memory of the World Register, according to the Chinese Ministry of Education. So far, China has 11 pieces of documentary files on the list, including the documents of the Nanjing Massacre.
The characters inscribed on the bones and shells have contributed greatly to Chinese civilization, enabling Chinese culture to be passed on from generation to generation and become the only civilization to last up to the present. However, in the past 100 years since being discovered, only about 2,000 characters from the oracle bone scripts have been decoded. There are at least 3,000 more remaining to be deciphered.
According to published materials, there are about 150,000 pieces of unearthed oracle bone scripts, and about 100,000 were preserved in the Chinese mainland, 30,000 in Taiwan and the other 20,000 were scattered across the world. It is expected that by entering the Memory of the World Register, the archaeological study of the ancient characters could be encouraged.
“It is only a new beginning,” said Song Zhenhao, director of the Oracle Bone Scripts Study Center of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, hoping that the new achievement could inject a vigor into the ancient study.

[1] The first Chinese characters date from the late Shang Dynasty, some 3, 000 years ago, originally made for the purposes of divination (占卜). They were written on pieces of tortoiseshell and fragments of bone.
[2] During the Shang Dynasty, divination was very important. To those who knew how to read them, it was belief that exhibits of shell and bone could foretell the future, tell you when to sacrifice, when to harvest, and when illness would strike. So, it was these diviners seeking to unlock the future that accidentally provided us with a key to the past. These oracle bones (甲骨) offer us a precious glimpse of life in China some three thousand years ago.
[3] Of the four thousand characters used in these descriptions, so far 1500 have been deciphered. Through them, we can reconstruct a day in the life of a Shang Dynasty man.
[4] It was that by a combination of careful observation and incredible imagination, the people of the Shang dynasty turned what they saw, did, and felt into symbols that could be written on turtle shells and animal bones — the very first Chinese characters.
[5] In pictograph characters like “Tian”, meaning farm, simple lines were used to outline the shape of something. But more abstract concepts could be described, too. For example, a short horizontal stroke above a long one meant “above”, a short stroke below a long one meant “below”. By combining more than one character into one, even more complex ideas could be expressed. Take Jio, meaning wine, for example, a combination of the character for cup or container and water. Other characters would combine one character indicating a certain sound with another specifying meaning. Yang, for example, meaning wander.
[6] Thanks to the Chinese characters on the oracle bones, Chinese civilization could at last be recorded and passed down the generations. Strange as it may seem, the complex system of writing we use today began life thousands of years ago as scratches on bits of bone. Now they're rooted in hearts and minds of more than a billion people.
6.What were the first Chinese characters initially used for?
A.Serving the rulers. B.Recording the past.
C.Showing natural power. D.Unlocking the future.
7.What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 3?
A.Identified. B.Destroyed. C.Discovered. D.Simplified.
8.What does Paragraph 5 focus on about the first Chinese characters?
A.The evolution. B.The formation.
C.The connection. D.The meaning.
9.What is the purpose of the text?
A.To introduce oracle bone script.
B.To stress the value of Chinese characters.
C.To highlight the birth of Chinese culture.
D.To offer a glimpse of life in Shang Dynasty.
C
The slogan for the Cultural Heritage and Sustainable Development Fund is"In Love With China"-and this special message has bcen shown in its own logo.The logo uses the characters for"wind"and"phoenix"(凤凰)in ancient oracle bone script(甲骨文)on a circular Chinese fan.
Madam Kang Jiaqi,the executive director of CHSDF, IN LOVE WITH CHINA explains the many layers of meaning behind the logo:“The logo adopts the writing style of oracle bone script-dating back over 3,000 years-carved onto either turtle shell or ox bones.

Logo artist Sam Chung similarly explains her design process,"The decision of the oracle bone script of' wind' comes from the root of the character itself.Originated from the character shape of 'phoenix,''wind's 'oracle bone script still presents wonder, despite its more circular shape.The three tassels(流苏)at the end of the moon-shaped fan further give a feeling of lightness while hinting at both Eastern and Western flavors."
10.What do we know about the logo?
A.It's carved on turtle shells.
B.It's drawn on circular Chinese fans.
C.It's designed in a new writing style.
