The Finding of Oracle Bones The discovery of the oracle bones in China goes back to 1899, when a scholar Wang Yirong (王懿荣) from Beijing was prescribed a remedy containing "dragon bones" for his illness. ―Dragon bones‖ were widely used in Chinese medicine and usually refer to fossils of dead animals. Wang Yirong noticed some carvings that looked like some kind of writing. This lucky finding led to the discovery of Anyang, the last capital of Shang dynasty, as well as Oracle-bone Script .
