    <h1>The Oracle Bones of Ancient China</h1>
    
    <div class="reading-passage">
        <p>In the study of ancient Chinese <span class="vocab-word">history</span>, one of the most fascinating discoveries has been the <span class="vocab-word">oracle</span> bones from the <span class="vocab-word">Shang</span> Dynasty (1600-1046 BCE). These artifacts give us important clues about early Chinese writing, religion, and society.</p>

        <p>The Shang kings used these oracle bones to communicate with their ancestors and gods. They would write questions on pieces of animal bone or <span class="vocab-word">turtle</span> shell, then apply heat until the bone cracked. Special priests would interpret these cracks as answers from the spirit world.</p>

        <p>Most oracle bones were made from the shoulder bones of oxen or the plastrons (bottom shells) of turtles. The Shang people believed turtles had special spiritual connections because they could live in both water and on land, and because their long lifespan represented wisdom.</p>

        <p>Today, over 150,000 oracle bone fragments have been found. They provide valuable information about the Shang Dynasty's government, wars, weather, and even medical practices. The writing on these bones is the earliest known form of Chinese characters, showing how modern Chinese writing developed over thousands of years.</p>

        <p>Without these oracle bones, our knowledge of early Chinese civilization would be much more limited. They serve as an important bridge between the ancient world and our understanding of history today.</p>
