Discovering oracle bone inscriptions, a 3,000-year-old Chinese script
These are the earliest known Chinese writing. They seem totally unintelligible to the untrained eye. But even after 3,000 years, these characters shed light on how the Chinese language came into being, and reveal clues to the origins of one of the world's most difficult languages to learn.

Oracle Bones
Chinese characters are one of the oldest written languages in human history, with a history of at least four thousand years. And about a century ago, Chinese archaeologists discovered the Yin Ruins — a massive archaeological find of oracle bone inscriptions. To date, these artifacts are the most vivid and best-preserved type of writing discovered thus far.

77-year-old man invents input method for oracle bone inscriptions
The year 2019 marks the 120th anniversary of the discovery of oracle bone inscriptions, the oldest fully-developed characters in China, and the only ancient text in the world that has been passed down to the present. Although the study of the primitive language in China is mostly an official endeavor, folk enthusiasts have also contributed their part to decode the ancient mystery. CGTN's Xu Mengqi has the story.

⚠️ NOTES:
1. Time ranges are conservative estimates of when each stage was dominant.
2. Historical examples and calligraphy examples are taken from https://www.zdic.net and https://shufa.hao86.com
3. One of the reasons we have so many examples of small seal script and not large seal script is because the first Chinese dictionary, 说文解字, used small seal script as the header for entries. This is despite being written somewhere around 100 AD, when seal script was already in decline.
4. In chronological order, Running script should be last after Regular script. I only shifted them for the sake of not ending on a cursive script that isn't used in daily life.
5. Simplified Chinese is not considered a separate stage in this video because it wasn’t a stylistic change. In other words, both traditional and simplified Chinese can be written in Regular script. And this is where the lines between “fonts” and “types” of characters become blurred. Every one of the stages we discussed were distinct because they had a different writing style as well as different fundamental strokes that made up each character. If the writing style is the same but the strokes are different, it’s merely another set of the same characters. If it’s a change in the writing style but the fundamental strokes are the same, then it should be classified as a different font. For example, Kaiti is the computer font that is based on regular script. Songti is a font that developed from ancient printing. And Heiti is a modern font that’s easy to read on small screens. Watch this video to learn more about Chinese fonts: https://youtu.be/v_e4Nhl2r5Y
6. There were many variant forms of characters in the period of oracle bone and bronze scripts. Variations came in 3 main varieties: 1. adding or subtracting strokes (i.e. no distinction between 木 and 术) 2. The placement of components could be swapped, and they would still mean the same thing. (i.e. 够 and 夠 would be the same character) 3. Adding components doesn’t change meaning (i.e. if 云, 运, and 雲 all meant “cloud”) Note: I’m using modern examples to illustrate; they are not historical examples!
