MindMap Gallery The writing tools and materials of oracle bone script
Oracle bone script was mainly written using tools such as bronze knives, stone knives, and possibly brushes (though not primarily). The materials used were carefully selected and polished turtle shells and animal bones, predominantly from the undersides of turtles and the bones of cattle and deer. Before writing, the materials underwent meticulous preparation. During writing, techniques such as force control and smooth line production were essential to ensure legibility. Brushes may have existed during the oracle bone script period, but they were likely not the primary writing tool.
