Chinese Writings Found

A discovery made in 1930 of early Chinese writings has pushed knowledge about the Chinese civilization back to 3500 B.C. The writings were found in a Soothsayer's cave in Anyang in the Yellow River Country of North China, the original area of discoveries of early Chinese civilizations. The characters in the writings are a simple form of the same characters in the Chinese language today. They were deciphered by Tung Tso-Pin and samples of the writings and their translations border the page. When the Soothsayer was asked advice he would paint or carve the problem on the shinbone of a sheep. This was thrown on a fire and the answer was determined by the way the splinters of the shin­ bone f ell. Silk screen copies of these writings hang in the office of Dr. J. F. Melby, Chairman, Department of Political Studies, Arts Building.
