《从甲骨文到缩微图书馆》一文商榷

Discuss about the Text "From Oracle Bone Inscriptions to Tiny Library

九年义务教育三年制初级中学教科书《语文》课本第三册中《从甲骨文到缩微图书馆》一文，错误地认为甲骨文是书籍的雏形。甲骨文是古代（尤其是商代后期）书写或契刻在龟甲和兽骨之上的一种古老文字，其内容是当时人们占卜的记录，故又称甲骨卜辞。甲骨文的这种性质和用途就决定了它只是当时文字使用的一个特殊方面而已，不是当时流行于社会的主要文字形式，甲骨卜辞更不是所谓的书籍。当时的书籍是先商时代就已经产生并一直流传于后世的“典”、“册”。

There is a test 'From Oracle Inscriptions to Tiny Library' in the middle school Chinese text book. It falsely consider8 the oracle bone inscriptions as the rudiment of books. Oracle bone in- scriptions are old Chinese characters written or carved on tortoise shells and animal bones. Their con- tents recoded the oracle things of the late Shang Dynasty. Oracle bone inscriptions are just special kind characters of that time, not original books. The books of the ancient period were dian(典) and ce(册).
