Description |
English: Oracle bone from the Couling-Chalfant collection.
This shoulder bone bears an inscription about the coming ten-day period and records that there will be no bad luck. The character for ‘moon’ (yue 月 in modern Chinese) is visible at the top centre. This particular oracle bone is important for the study of the ancient Chinese calendar and astronomy as it carries a record of a lunar eclipse that can be precisely dated to the night of the 27 December 1192 BC China, c. 1192 BC.
