前    言

       中華甲骨文是中華歷史上所發現的最早有記載的文字。這些文字由我們的先祖智慧地刻錄在龜甲或獸骨上而有幸被保存了下來。可是由於長期戰禍，尤其是秦統一六國，强制各國文字歸為一體後，先前的史留甲骨文疏於保存和繼承，幾乎不爲後人所知。直至1898年清朝國子監黃懿榮發現和開啓中華甲骨文的研究至今，僅僅只有125年，探索發展勢頭相當迅猛，但研究成果甚微。主要是這一學問實在深奧。但儘管如此，在中華本土或異鄉它地，還是湧現出一些勤奮好學的甲骨文研究學者。與此同時也滋生出一些爲數不多的甲骨文書法繪畫的藝術文人。使中華甲骨文書法成爲中華傳統書法中的一門新型萌芽發展起來的新穎分支藝術。目前能從事這一書畫藝術的難度確實很大，主要原因就是我們對這一領域的真實瞭解還是太有限。我經過多年的刻苦專研考察，積累了相對龐大的甲骨文字庫，編纂了約縂可用有據論證甲骨文字2800字的《實用甲骨文大字典》，於是就有可能從事甲骨文藝術的開拓。由於我在書畫篆刻藝術方面也有較傑出的功底，於是我以仿古甲骨文刻下了57枚甲骨文雕刻藝術品，作爲我辛勤勞動的成果，收錄在本篇《甲骨文龜甲牛骨石刻選編》中，和廣大甲骨文藝術愛好者分享。希望讀者能在欣賞之餘，也給與熱情的批評指正，不勝感謝。

Preface

Chinese oracle bone inscriptions are the earliest recorded characters discovered in Chinese history. These characters were inscribed on tortoise shells or animal bones by our ancestors and were fortunately preserved. However, due to long-term wars, especially after the Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms and forced the languages of various countries to be unified, the oracle bone inscriptions left in history were not well preserved and inherited, and are almost unknown to later generations. It has only been 125 years since Huang Yirong, a Qing Dynasty imperial scholar, discovered and started the study of Chinese oracle bone inscriptions in 1898. The exploration and development momentum is quite rapid, but the research results are still limited. This is mainly because this subject is really profound. Despite this, there are still some diligent and studious oracle bone inscription researchers inChinaand other places. At the same time, there are also a few oracle bone inscription calligraphy and painting artists. This makes Chinese oracle bone calligraphy a new branch of traditional Chinese calligraphy. At present, it is indeed very difficult to engage in this art of calligraphy and painting, mainly because our true understanding of this field is still too limited. After years of hard research and investigation, I have accumulated a relatively large database of oracle bone characters and compiled a "Practical Dictionary of Chinese Oracle" with about 2,800 oracle bone characters that can be used to prove the existence of oracle bone characters. Since I also have outstanding skills in calligraphy, painting and seal carving, I carved 57 pieces of oracle bone carvings in the style of ancient oracle bone inscriptions. As the result of my hard work, I included them in this "Selected Oracle Bone Inscriptions on Tortoise Shells, Ox Bones and Stone Inscriptions" to share with the vast number of oracle bone art lovers. I hope that readers can give enthusiastic criticism and corrections after appreciating them. I will be very grateful.
