4,500 yr old archaeological discovery rewrites earliest Chinese

Latest archaeological studies have shown that inscribed animal bones and jade pieces unearthed in Changle County of eastern Shandong Province in China, are the earliest examples of Chinese characters, dating back to 4,500 years.

The discovery broke the record for the previous earliest known examples of Chinese characters, the inscribed animal bones and tortoise shells, known as the oracle bones, of the Shang Dynasty (1600 BC-1100 BC), by more than 1,300 years.
