Abstract
This article interprets fifteen divination writings incised in conjoined animals’ scapulae, two of which are pieced together by former scholars and the other thirteen by the author. Four of the writings belong to the Bin Group of the First Phase, which covers the reign of King Wu Ding; the other eleven belong to the Huang Group of the Fifth Phase, which covers the reign of Emperors Yi and Xin. These divination inscriptions predict the results of hunting activities and the activities’ influences on the balance of nature within the following ten days. Animals’ scapulae and tortoise plastrons are the two primary materials of the Shang Dynasty oracle bones unearthed so far.
