Li Jinli cannot be dissatisfied. There must still be keels that can be found in China, but there are really not many, and there are definitely even fewer that can flow into the market.
Li Jinli actually bought three to four thousand bones at one time.
There are thousands of words involved, which is really not easy.
We must know that the oracle bone inscriptions discovered so far in our country only have about 150,000 oracle bones and more than 4,500 single characters.
The contents recorded in these oracle bone inscriptions are extremely rich and involve many aspects of social life in the Shang Dynasty.
It not only includes politics, military, culture, social customs, etc., but also involves astronomy, calendar, medicine and other science and technology.
Judging from the approximately 1,500 single characters that have been identified in oracle bone inscriptions, it already possesses the character creation methods of "pictogram, understanding, phonetic sound, referring to things, transfers, and borrowings", showing the unique charm of Chinese characters.
At that time, Li Jinli did not expect that a trip to Sichuan would yield so much.
This is also the reason why Chen Wenzhe has a lot of money. It is because of his strong backing that he can buy a lot of good things with his image of having a lot of money.
Of course, people in Sichuan and Sichuan must think that others are stupid and have too much money.
However, if he hadn't spent so much, how could anyone have sold him a large amount of rotten bones?
The bones left over from ancient times are called dragon bones, but the ones with ghost symbols painted on them are no ordinary dragon bones!
Unfortunately, even illiterate people now know that these bones are treasures.
So he really paid a very high price for this batch of oracle bones.
More than 3,000 pieces, less than 4,000 pieces, an average of more than 20,000 yuan per piece, totaling 100 million yuan.
Less than 4,000 dragon bones can be sold for 100 million yuan. There should be few people in the country who can resist this temptation.
Therefore, Li Jinli bought this large pile of bones easily.
Now it seems that those oracle bone inscriptions unearthed in Shuchuan River were indeed purchased correctly.
Because those oracle bone inscriptions are actually related to Shu Ge, and even record some events in the ancient Shu Kingdom.
If it weren't for such a batch of oracle bone inscriptions and a large amount of porcelain from the sea sent by Chen Wenzhe, how could their newly opened private museum attract a large number of experts?
Not to mention copying Sanxingdui bronzes, even identifying Shu Ge is difficult.
Chen Wenzhe really didn't know much about the dragon bones, but even if he did, he wasn't too interested.
After all, he didn't understand Oracle Bone Inscriptions. If he didn't understand this thing, he would just read the Book of Heaven.
Instead, he was more interested in the Shu Ge in front of him. There were not many of these things found, at least much less than the oracle bone fragments.
Since it is called Shu Ge, it is naturally the Ge of the ancient Shu Kingdom.
Therefore, there is still an ancient Shu Kingdom in Sichuan Province in history.
Needless to say, the large pile of dragon bones they bought also belonged to the ancient Shu Kingdom.
Only with this pile of bones can we attract a large number of experts and accurately identify these two pieces of Shu Ge.
Chen Wenzhe, as for Chen Wenzhe, only needs to study the research results of other experts to understand the origin of these two pieces of Shu Ge.
"Shu" appears frequently in oracle bone inscriptions written before Emperor Yi of Shang Dynasty.
This also shows how important Oracle is.
Although Chen Wenzhe had not seen the oracle bone inscriptions found in Shuchuan, he did not know what was recorded on them.
However, he was well-read and knew very well that among the oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang Dynasty discovered, there were many records about the ancient Shu Kingdom.
These records all exist in the form of fortune-telling words.
So far, more than 50 related inscriptions (including fragments) have been found, including 48 from the Wuding period, 3 from the Linxin and Kangding periods.
The inscriptions with "Shu" in the Wuding period mainly express four items.
First, it records the Shu people's "King Ye's Affairs", which means Shu people did things for the King of Shang.
This shows that the ancient Shu people had submitted to the Shang Dynasty as early as the Wu Ding period.
The inscriptions show that most of the leaders of the ancient Shu Kingdom held important positions in the Shang Dynasty, and their status was quite high.
The people who could be cared about by the King of Shang and asked for divination were generally the leaders of the clans or Fang kingdoms who submitted to Shang.
The second one records some military events and other related contents in which the Shu people protected the King of Shang and guarded Wang Ji.
There are three inscriptions in it, which together show the entire time.
On this day, Jiayin asked whether it would be auspicious to recruit people from Shu.
There were 14 days from Jiayin to Dingmao. It may be that the personnel recruited from Shu to attack Fu had not arrived or not all of them had arrived.
Therefore, on the 14th day of February and Dingmao day, another question was asked, whether the soldiers transferred from Shu can defeat the fou?
If you predict twice in a row, it is a good omen.
Fourteen days later, on the day of Gengchen, King Shang once again divined the matter of cutting the fou.
"Fu" was a Fang Kingdom that lived in the northwest area of Yongji in southern Shanxi today. It was often conquered by the Shang king because it was often an enemy of the Shang Dynasty.
It can be seen from this that it took about 28 days from the time when the King of Shang prepared to send people to cut down the Fou to the time when the soldiers were recruited from Shu. The recruited soldiers then traveled a long distance from Shu to the Fou site.
The third one records that Shang King Wuding performed divination to pray for a good harvest in Shu's agriculture.
The fact that the King of Shang was so concerned that he prayed for his future again and again shows that Shu occupies a very important position among the vassal states of the Shang Dynasty.
The fourth is to ask whether it is a bad omen or a good omen to visit or stay in Shu.
Most of this type of inscriptions were discovered in the late Wuding period, and there are about 12 inscriptions, indicating that the two countries had frequent exchanges and close relations.
The content recorded in the three inscriptions of Wu Yi and Wen Ding periods is similar to that of the late Wu Ding period, and they are mainly about asking merchants to stay in Shu.
From the late period of Wu Ding to the period of Wu Yi and Wen Ding, merchants came to Shu so frequently, which means that the Shang Dynasty most likely sent people to hold some important official positions in Shu.
The words "defeat Shu" and "conquer Shu" were also found in the oracle bone inscriptions from the period of King Wen of the original Zhou Dynasty in Western Shaanxi Province.
It shows that the Zhou people under King Wen of Zhou once conquered and finally conquered Shu.
Judging from documentary records, the earliest mention of "Shu" was in "Shangshu".
In the Battle of Muye, one of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces led by King Wu of Zhou to attack the Shang Dynasty was the Kingdom of Shu.
"The Chronicles of the King of Shu" written by Yang Xiong, a native of Sichuan Province in the late Western Han Dynasty, and "Huayang Guozhi" written by Chang Cu, a native of Shu County in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, have more detailed records of "Shu".
But unfortunately, "The Chronicles of the King of Shu" has been lost.
What you can see now is a collection of excerpts from "Taiping Yulan" during the Northern Song Dynasty.
"Taiping Yulan" quoted from "The Chronicles of the King of Shu" records that the ancestor of the King of Shu was named Cancong, followed by Bai Yi, and then named Yufu.
Each of the three periods lasted hundreds of years, and finally they all cultivated into gods.
"The people also followed the king's transformation."
Later, a man named Du Yu established himself as King of Shu, named Emperor Wang, and ruled over the Yipi area at the foot of Wenshan Mountain.
Emperor Wang ruled for more than 100 years.
There was a man named Bieling in Jingdi, and Du Yu first promoted him to the position of Prime Minister.
Later, Du Yu felt that his virtue was weak and inferior to that of the turtle spirit, so he followed the example of Yao and Shun in abdication and handed over the government of the country to the turtle spirit and left.
