Cumberland slider plastron

火術，Pyromancy, the use of fire to cause cracks to appear in bone or shell, is one of the most prominent features of ancient Chinese religious life. It is best known from the inscribed oracle bones of the late Shang dynasty (c. 1200-1045 B.C.), though there is also an extended biography devoted to it in the Records of the Historian of Sima Qian (c. 145-89 B.C.). It is less well known that turtle-shell divination continued to be practised throughout the intervening Zhou dynasty (c. 1045-249 B.C.). 甲骨 jiǎgǔ, oracle bones, are pieces of ox scapula and turtle plastron, which were used for pyromancy – a form of divination – in ancient China, mainly during the late Shang dynasty. Scapulimancy is the correct term if ox scapulae were used for the divination, plastromancy if turtle plastrons were used.
