Every great #civilization has a hidden #backstory.
We know the Shang's grand capitals in #Anyang, #Zhengzhou and Yanshi.
But where did the Shang people live, and how did they live, before their #kingdom was born?
Archaeologists in Shangqiu are trying to find this missing chapter.

🥳Today's ancient Chinese character is “糸” (mì) — it means Thread 🧵✨!
Look at the picture above🧐. 3,000 years ago, people simply drew a twisting bundle of silk to create this character! 🪢🐛 It's literally a drawing of a thread.

❌STOP calling Jiaguwen "#oraclebone inscriptions"! ✅CALL it "oracle bone #TEXT"!
It is not just separate marks carved on bones.
They are ancient texts — records from the #ShangDynasty.
Read them as texts, and you will understand Shang civilization.
