Oracle bone script prototypes used in animations
At the time of creation
They first found out based on historical records
Equipment used by ancient people in marching and warfare

Introduction by Ms. Huang
They started researching oracle bone script fonts a year ago
At first, I tried using graphic and textual forms
Explain the writing style of some commonly used characters in oracle bone inscriptions
![Present the war scenes 3000 years ago in oracle bone script! Netizen: It seems like I saw Wen Taishi's domineering return to court](https://a5qu.com/upload/images/963c33173a0b161894696ad9a14e131c.png)
However, this static form
Unable to vividly demonstrate the meaning of oracle bone inscriptions
It also did not achieve the expected dissemination effect
So, can we make the text move?
The team attempted the first animation with the word "cool"
![Present the war scenes 3000 years ago in oracle bone script! Netizen: It seems like I saw Wen Taishi's domineering return to court](https://a5qu.com/upload/images/88777506098121abe3c6f28d285fc2d6.png)
In oracle bone script
"Shuang" is like a fire under a person's armpit, indicating brightness
In the animation, it seems like someone is carrying two lights ↓
This form has received recognition from many netizens
Afterwards, they successively released animated pictures and emoticons

The word "beauty"
Like a person wearing a horn shaped headdress
The original meaning of food is sweet and delicious
The animation showcases "beauty" with a walking posture ↓
The word "makeup"

Like a woman dressing up by the bedside ↓
Animation of snowfall, rain, and hail
Adapted from the oracle bone script of the three characters "snow", "rain", and "hail"
Oracle bone script emojis have been added
Imagination and fun

In terms of font design
They basically copy oracle bone inscriptions and rubbings
But the glyphs are clearer than rubbings
Ms. Huang said
The team has just attempted to create vector graphics

Later it was discovered that
"Still, authentic oracle bone script looks better"
To achieve animation effects
The team first drew the text based on the oracle bone script by hand
Using AE software for animation
![Present the war scenes 3000 years ago in oracle bone script! Netizen: It seems like I saw Wen Taishi's domineering return to court](https://a5qu.com/upload/images/72370d3a21791fa9bf5b3dff8973a5a3.png)
A video of an emoji usually takes a week to complete
Including finding characters, doing homework, designing patterns, and storytelling
And then make it into an animation
The hardest part is actually finding text that is easy for the public to understand
We need to constantly seek inspiration

Oracle bone script as one of the oldest scripts
Even if spanning over 3000 years
We can still learn from the "Museum Chinese Characters" project team
In the popular science video of oracle bone script
Feeling the charm of oracle bone script

And the cultural heritage and profoundness of Chinese characters
Ms. Huang also hopes to use this form
Encourage more people to actively follow and even understand oracle bone inscriptions
Experience the charm of Chinese characters
In the future, we also want to try more interesting designs
