Features: This book selects content from Zhao Ruzhen's series "Guide to Antique Collecting," including "Oracle Bone Scripts from Yin Ruins," "Distinguishing Oracle Bone Scripts from Yin Ruins," "Ancient Bricks and Tiles," "Idols," and "Ancient Stone Tools." The unearthed artifacts primarily involve knowledge of archaeology and textual research, but the author does not engage in traditional academic discussions. Instead, he presents knowledge that is more relevant to enthusiasts and collectors in an accessible manner to readers. From his research, readers can also gain insights into the perspectives and attitudes of people toward traditional civilization at that time. The sections on bricks and tiles and idols hold certain reference value for collectors, while the author's research methods are also greatly helpful for readers in learning and understanding identification techniques.
