【正文】 . Before we start our tour, I have a question for you. Do you know what the Museum of Yin Ruins is famous for?
The answer is, it is famous for three things: the oracle inscriptions, the bronze wares and the ancient capital of the Shang Dynasty. Please remember this and let’s begin our tour.
This is the main entrance to the garden. It is a specially designed gate, the word gate was written on tortoise shells. The gate was finely caved with beautiful designs of dragon, phoenix, tiger and other animals, on top of the gate is a board with the words “gardens of the Yin Ruins” Now we’ve e to the main hall where the oracle bone inscriptions are put on display. The oracle bone inscriptions were first discovered in 1899, then 15 important archaeological excavations were acquired within 10 years, more than 160,000 pieces of shells and bones with inscriptions were found. As the earliest characters, the inscriptions marked a recorded history of nearly 4000 year in China. They were used as divinations in the shang dynasty when people then were very superstitious. The contents of these inscriptions covered a largescale of fields, ranging from sacrifice, wars, state affairs to weather, hunting and provide important information for the study of the shang society.
Apart from the oracle inscriptions, bronze wares are another important part of the cultural relics discovered from the Ruins, which shows that the technology of bronze casting has reached its peak in the shang dynasty. There are many kinds of bronze wares including sacrificial vessels, musical instruments, weapons, tools and so on. Among them, the most famous one is “si mu wu ding”, a bronze object weighing 875 kilograms, it is the biggest bronze ware unearthed so far in the world. With its unusual air of majesty and beautiful designs of patterns, it is considered to be a treasure in the bronze culture of china as well as a glorious pearl shining on the peak of the world art. There are other artifacts discovered in the Yin Ruins including pottery objects, stone and bone objects, jade, shell objects and so on, all beautiful in shape and well made.
Finally, we e to the site of the imperial palaces and tombs. The imperial palaces lie on the north of the Xiaotun Village, to the south bank of Henghe River. Altogether 54 imperial palaces have been discovered, covering an area of 280 meters long and 150 meters wide. The tombs lie opposite the palaces across Henghe River. Eleven large tomb have been found, of which 8 are tomb of Kings. The largest tomb covers an area of over 1000 square meters. The Simuwuding and many other bronze wares were just found here. And in 1976 archaeologists found the first Tomb of woman in Chinese historyThe Tomb of Fu Hao. Fu hao was Emperor Wu Ding’s wife, she was an intelligent and courageous woman. She led the Yin army fighting in many wars and made great contributions towards protecting the country. After her death, Wu Ding built this large tomb near the palaces to honor her merits. Tomb of Fu Hao is the only wellpreserved tomb unearthed so far in Yin Ruins. The large numbers of sacrificial objects are valuable cultural relics in the treasure house of Chinese art.
Ok, so much for my explanation about the Yin Ruins, thank you for your listening and cooperation, wish you a pleasant trip here, thank you!
