Oracle Bone 甲骨文

Oracle Bone draws from jiaguwen — the earliest systematic Chinese writing, incised with a bronze graver into ox-scapula and turtle-plastron used for Shang pyromancy. Angular pictographs were rubbed with cinnabar or carbon to make them legible against divination cracks fanning across the surface.

The system honors what 3,000 years did to these bones: a deep tea-brown patina, not fresh ivory. Cinnabar reds, bone tans and carbon blacks carry the script; sharp incised strokes and hairline cracks frame every panel.

甲骨文是已知最早成体系的汉字，商代晚期的卜师用青铜刻刀，将棱角分明的象形文字契刻在占卜用的牛肩胛骨与龟腹甲之上。为了让字迹清晰，工匠常以朱砂或炭黑填入刻痕，而灼烧后炸裂的卜兆纹则像树枝一样在骨面铺展。

这套设计尊重三千年时光在甲骨上留下的痕迹：那是深沉的茶褐色包浆，而非崭新的象牙白。朱砂的赭红、骨片的暖黄、炭黑的笔画共同承载文字，锐利的契刻笔势与发丝般的卜裂纹勾勒出每一块版面，让读者隔着屏幕也能触到那份古朴与肃穆。
