Unearth the origins of Chinese civilization through one of the most groundbreaking works in oracle bone studies.

《鐵雲藏龜》 (Tieyun's Collection of Tortoise Inscriptions) is the first-ever published compilation of oracle bone inscriptions, created by renowned Qing dynasty scholar and author E Liu (Liu E)-best known for The Travels of Lao Can. This landmark work laid the foundation for the modern field of oracle bone script research, the oldest known form of Chinese writing.

Painstakingly collected, studied, and preserved over decades, the inscriptions in this book represent the earliest written records of the Shang dynasty-etched into turtle shells and ox scapulae used in ancient divination. More than just an artifact catalog, this work captures a pivotal moment when Chinese archaeology, philology, and history intersected for the first time in the modern age.

Perfect for scholars, historians, linguists, and collectors, this high-quality North American edition from iCultures Publications faithfully reproduces Liu E's original vision, bringing a century-old treasure to contemporary readers.
