National Museum of Chinese Writing, National museum in Anyang, China
The National Museum of Chinese Writing is a museum in Anyang dedicated to the development of Chinese characters. It displays exhibitions showing how writing evolved from oracle bone inscriptions to contemporary forms across its halls.
The museum was established in 2009 near the Yin Ruins, where archaeologists found ancient oracle bone inscriptions from the Shang Dynasty. Its location connects it directly to the origins of Chinese writing culture.
The building displays an embossed golden roof and red columns that blend architectural elements from the Shang Dynasty with modern design. Visitors see how these features reflect the importance of writing in early Chinese culture.
The museum spans five floors with exhibitions designed for visitors of all levels. Interactive displays help you understand the development and significance of Chinese writing systems.
A highlight of the collection is a large bronze ritual vessel from the Shang period that was discovered in Anyang in 1939. This artifact ranks among the most important bronze objects from ancient Chinese civilization.
