Yinxu, near modern Anyang, was the last capital of the Shang Dynasty and one of the foundational sites of Chinese archaeology. Excavations have revealed palace foundations, royal tombs, sacrificial pits, bronze workshops, chariot burials, and more than 150,000 oracle-bone inscriptions. These inscriptions record royal divination and provide the earliest substantial body of Chinese writing. The museum connects the world of Lady Fuhao, Shang bronze ritual, oracle-bone divination, and the historically grounded background behind later mythic works such as Creation of the Gods.
