◎清大熱門通識課精華集結
◎台大科教中心「甲骨文與金文」專欄延伸
甲骨文是漢字的源頭,記載了很多古代生活的資訊。但你知道嗎?古代有許多野生動物也都記錄在甲骨文裡。從甲骨文的字形,我們可以和現存的動物相對比,比如大象的長鼻、老虎的橫紋,都呈現在三千多年前的龜甲、獸骨上頭。當然也記載了已經滅絕或從中土消失的動物,供後人想像。
本書作者為澳洲國立大學考古學博士。在國立清華大學開設極受學生歡迎的甲骨文通識課,他結合了最新考古挖掘資料與甲骨學,從甲骨文字的造字初義,帶領學生穿越到古代世界一窺那些在中國已滅絕或瀕危的動物。從狐狸、彌猴、黑熊,到神話動物龍與鳳以及名叫「虹」的怪物,讓我們一起從野生動物到想像生物,見證這個令人好奇且興奮的古代世界吧!
