Let's take a look at the difference between Oracle bones and nail heads in two river basins. The appearance of Oracle Bone Inscriptions is about 2000 years later than that of the nail script in the two river basins. Oracle Bone Inscriptions is a written language with a long history in China, carved on tortoise shells or animal bones, and it is a perfect writing in the Yin and Shang Dynasties. Nail heads are commonly used characters in ancient Arawa, printed on mudguards made of wet and cold clay.
Difference: 1, which contains different contents.
Pictographs, also known as ideographs, are Indian hieroglyphs, Sumerian, ancient Indian civilization and Oracle Bone Inscriptions in China.
Oracle Bone Inscriptions is a script with a long history in China, which is also called "Wen Qi", "Oracle Bone Inscriptions", "Yin Ruins" or "tortoise shell and animal bones".
2. This area is different.
Oracle Bone Inscriptions is a script with a long history in China, and it is a perfect script in the Yin and Shang Dynasties in China. It was first unearthed in the Yin Ruins in Anyang City, Henan Province.
About 5000 years ago, hieroglyphics were invented in ancient Egypt. This early hieroglyph was slow to write and unsightly to understand. As time went on, even the ancient Egyptians themselves finally forgot how to interpret it. Later, with the excavation of the Rosetta stone, we can distinguish this kind of writing today.
Because of the complexity of hieroglyphics and the high difficulty coefficient in learning and training, they are gradually replaced by Pinyin characters which are easier to learn, train and master basically in most areas. (However, due to the differences in phonetic symbols between regions and landmarks, the transmission difficulty coefficient of pinyin characters is higher. ).
3. Different font styles
Oracle Bone Inscriptions has a symmetrical and smooth layout. Three factors of preparing calligraphy art, namely, holding a pen, finishing words and skills. Judging from the total number of font styles and construction methods, Oracle Bone Inscriptions characters have long been developing towards word software with strict systems.
Hieroglyphs, derived from pictographs, are an original method of word-making. The characteristics of painting are weakened and the representative characteristics are improved. Indian hieroglyphics, Sumerian scripts, ancient Indian civilization, Oracle Bone Inscriptions and stone carvings in China are all independently produced from the simplest pictures and lines in ancient times.
First, the Oracle characters in our country, because we China people are not easy to get rusty, are the first form of Chinese characters used in China now, and are often called Oracle characters, because people at that time put characters on tortoise shells or animal bones. Oracle inscriptions have a very long history, which began in the late Yin and Shang Dynasties in China. At that time, people wrote such words on tortoise shells mainly for better possession of divination notebooks, so we can also learn some history and humanities of Yin Shang from Oracle Bone Inscriptions.
Second, the difference between Sumerian cuneiform writing and Oracle writing. Sumerian cuneiform writing, that is, plain nail writing, is said to have originated in Mesopotamia plain, which is now the two river basins. It is the earliest region in the history of human development. Compared with Sumer's inscriptions on bones and tortoise shells, although it happened after 2000, China's inscriptions on bones and tortoise shells can be widely circulated, which is the only one among the four classical styles that can be widely circulated and widely used today. Secondly, Sumer's Jiashu originated in the two river basins, while China's Oracle Bone Inscriptions began in the Weihe River basin.
Thirdly, other earlier scripts in the world, besides China's Oracle bone inscriptions and Sumerian nail script, also have two other classical scripts all over the world. The first is the sacred books of ancient Egypt, and India also has a very long history and culture. Usually, ancient Egypt called it a sacred manuscript because they thought it was very noble and lofty. At that time, ancient Egypt usually wrote sacred words on some sacrificial vessels or on the walls of some relatively tall temples. Another kind of writing is Mayan writing, which is a mysterious existence for contemporary people. Mayan writing began in South America.
