China Daily  

The first two volumes of Yinxu Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Palace Museum Collection were newly published. The recently published first two volumes of the book, Yinxu Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Palace Museum Collection, cover more than 1,300 bones, the inscriptions on which include topics ranging from military affairs, astronomy and agriculture to tribute systems and sacrificial rituals. Zhu Hongwen, deputy director of the Palace Museum, said the museum houses 21,395 oracle bones, about 13 percent of the world's total number of such relics known to exist today. The book on the Palace Museum's oracle bone collection can provide references for studies on warfare during the Shang Dynasty, and on a rare recording of a solar eclipse, Liu added.
