This special tortoise shell script was unearthed on the tortoise shell cultural relic of Khan Lee cultural site on the east side of Jia Hu village in Wuyang, Henan, China. In an archaeological activity in 1987, some tortoise shell cultural relics at Jiahu site in Henan Province officially appeared in front of the world. There are at least 17 inscriptions on Jia Hu unearthed at Jiahu site in Henan province. From the shape, these inscriptions on Jiahu have a multi-stroke structure. After a certain understanding of the history of the characters, we will find that this structure was created by the seal engraver to express a certain meaning.
After technical analysis by experts, it can be found that the age of these tortoise shells is about 7700 years ago. It is reported that these characters are probably the earliest known characters so far. After analyzing these inscriptions in Jia Hu, some experts also found that these inscriptions are very similar to those in Oracle Bone Inscriptions of Yin Ruins. If it can be proved that Jia Hu's lettering has certain literal meaning, it also proves that there were signs of human activities in China as early as 8,000 years ago. It can be said that this archaeological work has also brought a great breakthrough to the historical research of China.
By analyzing the inscriptions on these tortoise shells, we can also find that these seventeen symbols can be roughly divided into three categories. The first is a composite structure composed of multiple strokes, which should contain some specific events recorded by the sculptor. Because these characters are endowed with some human thoughts, they can also be considered as the embryonic form of the original characters. Among them, the second category can be judged as the existence of stamps. Although these words have no practical significance, their appearance can help us to have a deeper understanding of the word tortoise shell.
In Jia Hu's inscription, the third kind of words should also be some counting symbols. From the appearance of such characters, we can also feel that as early as ancient times, people living here had the concept of mathematics. Although experts can't accurately interpret some words in Jia Hu's inscriptions, we can also feel from the appearance of these words that there were traces of human activities in China at that time. It can be said that this also provides stronger evidence support for the historical development of China. As an important ancient civilization in the world history, China has a very high position in the whole process of human development.
Because of the long history of inscriptions in Jia Hu, it has attracted worldwide attention since the appearance of inscriptions in Jia Hu. If we can prove the authenticity of Jia Hu's inscription, it shows that as early as the Neolithic Age, tortoise shells have become an important carrier for people to record their lives.
Before this, when people found Oracle Bone Inscriptions in the ruins of Yin Ruins, they were often confused about its source. After all, there is no such writing in China society before. If Oracle Bone Inscriptions suddenly appears, its changing law will not conform to the development model of human society. If we can prove that there is some connection between Jia Hu's inscription and Oracle Bone Inscriptions, then we will also find that Jia Hu's inscription is actually the embryonic form of Oracle Bone Inscriptions. With the support of this historical origin, the mystery of the origin of Chinese characters will eventually be solved.

By studying the inscriptions on Jiahu, we can find that although these symbols look simple, they are probably the earliest primitive characters in China. It can be said that through the excavation of Jiahu site, we can also understand the social situation of China more than 8,000 years ago. Although the mystery of the origin of Chinese characters has not been really solved so far, through the continuous efforts of experts, I believe that in the future, through the excavation of Jiahu site, we will
