Summary
Details

Luo Zhenyu's Study and Interpretation of Yin Xu Inscriptions (Yin, Volumes I, II, III) - 1914 Edition is a landmark work in oracle bone script studies, laying the foundation for modern research on Shang Dynasty inscriptions. As one of the earliest systematic studies on oracle bone texts, this book remains an essential reference for scholars of Chinese history, linguistics, and archaeology.

Originally published in 1914, this authoritative text classifies, deciphers, and interprets oracle bone inscriptions, offering groundbreaking insights into the Shang Dynasty's political, religious, and social structures. Luo Zhenyu meticulously categorized oracle bone records into key themes-sacrificial rituals, warfare, agriculture, and governance-allowing future researchers to understand their historical significance.

This newly recompiled edition, presented with a traditional blue-xuan paper cover and an embossed gold-stamped back cover featuring ""甲骨存真金石留痕"", pays tribute to Luo Zhenyu's scholarly contributions. It provides modern readers with a refined, high-quality print edition, maintaining the integrity of the original text while enhancing accessibility.

Why this book matters:

A foundational text in oracle bone script studies

Essential for historians, linguists, and archaeologists

An authentic reproduction of Luo Zhenyu's pioneering work

A key resource for understanding ancient Chinese civilization

This edition is available exclusively in print format, emphasizing the preservation of historical texts in their most authentic form.
