Oracle Tortoise Shell
This is a piece of tortoise shell (the tortoise's belly armor) engraved with oracle bones. Oracle bone inscriptions are the earliest ancient characters with a relatively complete system that have been discovered in China. They mainly refer to characters engraved on tortoise shells or animal bones. They prevailed in the late Shang Dynasty (about 14th century BC to 11th century BC). In ancient times, the royal family and nobles of the Shang Dynasty used tortoise shells and ox shoulder blades to make divination, predict good or bad luck or inquire about important matters (such as weather, war, harvest, sacrifice, etc.). During divination, the sorcerer would drill holes in the back of the tortoise's shell, then burn it with fire, judge the good or bad according to the cracks (called "omens") generated on the front, and engrave the divination content or result on the oracle bone.
Late Shang Dynasty Bronze Cup Three Cup
The bronze goblet of the late Shang Dynasty is one of the important representatives of ancient Chinese bronze ware. One of the most famous ones is the San Jue Cup from the Shang Dynasty. The Sanjue Cup is a type of wine vessel made of bronze, typically featuring a long neck, round belly, and flat bottom. Its name "San Jue" comes from the three prominent jue ears on the body of the vessel, which usually present the image of animals or divine beasts, such as dragons, sheep, birds, etc., symbolizing auspiciousness and good fortune. The Sanjue Cup represents the prosperity and development of bronze culture in the late Shang Dynasty, and shows the wisdom and artistic achievements of the ancient Chinese people. It is one of the treasures of ancient Chinese bronze ware and a precious witness to the civilization of the Shang Dynasty.
