A group of student researchers with Fudan University has built an online database related to the rejoining of oracle bone inscriptions. The database, which is open to the public, was launched on Feb 21.
Named "Joining Jades and Linking Pearls", the database has received more than 250,000 visits and 70 comments from experts in the past two months.
"The biggest advantage of this database is that it is open and everybody can use it," said Jiang Yubin, a professor at the Center for Research on Chinese Excavated Classics and Paleography.
According to the center, more than 7,000 sets of inscriptions have been rejoined over the past century.
