Abstract
Since Oracle bone inscriptions were first discovered in 1899, they became the most important primary materials for the study of the history of early China.
During his early years, the author conducted archaeological research at An-yang, in Henan province where the ruins of one of the capitals of ancient China is located. Later he conducted research on the oracle bone inscriptions unearthed in the same area, and is the editor of A Compendium of the Oracle Bone Inscriptions. During his lifetime, he visited 47 collectors, 99 institutions and more than 40 cities in 25 provinces throughout mainland China.
This paper is an introductory article on the collection of oracle bone inscriptions and ink-rubbings on the Chinese continent.
