中央研究院歷史語言研究所1936年在小屯第13次發掘所得，屬晚商第一期武丁卜辭。此龜腹甲版面完整，內容是卜問農作物會不會有好收成的對貞卜辭，部分刻字有塗硃砂，其中的「韋」是貞人名。卜辭一般刻在卜兆旁，通常會避開卜兆，稱為「避兆」；本版則卜辭或刻在卜兆上，稱為「犯兆」。
Obtained in the Institute of History and Philology's 13th Xiaotun excavation in 1936, it belongs to late Shang period 1, a divination inscription of Wu Ding. The layout of this tortoise plastron is completely intact. The inscription's contents record divining whether the agricultural crop will or will not result in a good harvest. A part of the engraved characters have been smeared with vermillion paste, and the character "Wei" (韋) therein is the name of the diviner.
Generally, oracle bone inscriptions will usually have carved beside the divination charge an opposite, negative charge, called the bi zhao (避兆). In the case of this piece, there is an inscription carved upon the divination crack itself, called a fan zhao (犯兆).
