How did the people of the Shang Dynasty use oracle bones? How accurately do you think oracle bones would be at telling the future?
Answers
Answer:
• Oracle bones were created to tell if statements about the harvest or other important events were true or false. A Diviner would read a negative and a positive statement, and then a hot poker was applied to previously bored pits in the bone. The poker's heat would allow for the bone to crack in many different directions. The Diviner would then examine the bone and where it cracked. Based on where the cracks appeared, either the positive statement or the negative statement would be true.
•Oracle Bones help us to understand the daily life and religion/culture of people in the Shang Dynasty because we now know that kings during this Dynasty relied on oracle bones for everyday use.
