MindMap Gallery The sacrificial purpose of oracle bone inscriptions
Oracle bone inscriptions played a crucial role in sacrificial rituals, primarily used to pray for protection and express gratitude to ancestors, deities, and natural forces. Before the ritual, offerings were carefully prepared, and sacrificial texts were recited to show respect. Oracle bone inscriptions, as part of these texts, were often burned as offerings to the deities. Such sacrificial activities not only reinforced the ancient belief system but also promoted cohesion and unity among communities, holding significant social importance.
