Study On Oracle Bone Morphology In Shang And Zhou Dynasties In Guanzhong Area

The study of oracle bone morphology refers to the archaeological study on the surface of tortoise shell and animal bone used for divination.Due to the differences in technology,belief,space and time,the ancients usually presented different forms of oracle bone.This paper takes the oracle bone materials of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties in the Guanzhong area as the research object,classifying and staging it,and compares it with the oracle bone remediation technology in the surrounding area to explore the development stage and various stages of the divination technique in the Guanzhong period,to discuss the regional differences in oracle bone morphology,and to find the interaction and change of culture and people revealed by divination techniques.This paper can be divided into five parts:The first part is the introduction,which summarizes the brief history of oracle bone morphology research and introduces the purpose,content and method of this paper.The second part is the typological study of the oracle bone morphology.First of all,it introduces the oracles found in guanzhong area during the shang and zhou dynasties,and then analyzes the excavated background and species category of the oracles.Through the analysis,we divide the oracle bone morphology in the shang and zhou periods of guanzhong into two categories,each of which is divided into several types.The form of the oracular shells is divided into two types.The third part is the stage study of the oracle bone morphology in the shang and zhou dynasties in guanzhong.Through analysis,the oracle bone morphology in Guanzhong is divided into four phases and five segments,and the characteristics,evolution and development of each stage are summarized.The fourth part is a comparative study of oracle bone morphology.By comparing the bones in the shang and zhou dynasties in guanzhong with those in the surrounding areas,it can be seen that in the late stage of Erlitou Culture and early stage of Shang,the oracle bone renovation at the Laoniupo Site in the eastern part of guanzhong was influenced by Erlitou Culture and developed somewhat,which is more advanced than the renovation technology in the core area of Shang Culture.From the late period of early Shang,the oracle bone remediation technology in the core area of Shang Culture affects the entire Guanzhong area,but by the late Shang Dynasty,the shape of the oracle bone in Guanzhong area follows its own evolutionary trajectory.At the end of the Shang Dynasties,the oracle bone shape changed significantly.In the early Western Zhou Dynasty,the oracle bone remediation technology in Guanzhong area gradually formes its own characteristics.The fifth part is the conclusion.It is a summary of the conclusions obtained in this paper.
