National Museum of Chinese Writing

The National Museum of Chinese Writing contains exhibitions about the development of Chinese characters from oracle bones to modern forms across eight halls.

The museum opened on November 16, 2009, near the Yin Ruins where archaeologists discovered ancient oracle bone inscriptions dating back to the Shang Dynasty.

The five-story building features an embossed golden roof and red columns, combining architectural elements from the Shang Dynasty with modern construction techniques.

The museum collection includes 4,000 artifacts, with 305 first-class relics, and offers interactive displays for visitors to learn about Chinese character writing.

The Simuwu Ding, a bronze ritual vessel weighing 875 kilograms discovered in Anyang in 1939, stands as a central exhibit in the museum.
