Detailed explanation-1: -Oracle bones are pieces of bone or turtle shell that were used by the ancient Chinese, especially Chinese kings, in attempts to predict the future. The ancient kings would inscribe their name and the date on the bone along with a question.
Detailed explanation-2: -Oracle Bones are animal bones that were used for divination (predicting the future) by people from the Shang Dynasty. People carved these bones with questions about the future and the cracks that formed on the bones after they had been heated would give them an answer, called a “prophesy”.
Detailed explanation-3: -A fortune-teller would carve (later, paint) symbols on the bones of the ox or the turtle shell, apply a hot poker or fire until the bone or shell cracked, and then interpret the direction of the crack through their drawing to predict the future.
