	Oracle bone script - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Oracle bone script (Chinese: 甲骨文; pinyin: jiǎgǔwén; literally "shell bone writing") refers to incised (or, rarely, brush-written) ancient Chinese characters found on oracle bones, which are animal bones or turtle shells used in divination in ancient China.
		The vast majority are ox scapulae and tortoise plastrons which record the pyromantic divinations of the royal house of the late Shāng Dynasty, primarily at the capital of Yīn (modern Anyang, Henan Province), around the 14th to 11th centuries BC.
		By the early Western Zhou period, these traits had vanished, but in both periods, the script was not highly regular or standardized; variant forms of graphs abound, and the size and orientation of graphs is also irregular.
