Military campaign inscriptions from YH 1271
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 December 2009
Extract
Some eight years ago, I wrote a degree thesis on the wars that took place during the reign of King Wu Ding 
, Shang dynasty, in which I made a comprehensive study of the military campaign inscriptions dated by most oracle-bone scholars to the first period. Since quite a number of these inscriptions were discovered in pit YH 127 at Yinxu 
, these formed a vital part of the sources for my study.

Shaughnessy and his students, Debby Porter and Cai Fangpei, when I worked with Shaughnessy and joined his seminar on oracle-bone inscriptions at the University of Chicago early last year. For illustrations of the inscriptions dealt with in this article, see the rubbings produced in plates I-VIII.
