Early in the era of WeChat and mobile emojis, Chen created oracle drawing template design and hoped that the public, especially children, could use these drawing templates combined with narrative characters pictures, to experience the beauty of the origin of Chinese characters in the game.
In ancient China, Oracle bones are pieces of ox scapula or turtle plastron, which were used for divination during the late Shang Dynasty. They bear the earliest significant corpus of ancient Chinese writing and contain important historical information about the Shang.
Oracle bones from ancient China, hieroglyphs from ancient Egypt, cuneiforms from ancient Babylon, and Mayan glyphs from Mesoamerica are among the world's most famous ancient writing systems, but oracle bones are the only ones that still survive, as they have evolved over time into current Chinese characters.
