中央研究院歷史語言研究所1936年第13次發掘所得,為著名的YH127坑出土甲骨之一。時代屬武丁中、晚期。在刻辭的筆劃中間還填上顏色,大字填硃,小字填褐。卜辭內容主要是跟征伐有關,大字用雙刀刻,充份表現出「雄健宏偉」的書體風格。
Obtained in the Institute of History and Philology's 13th excavation, it is one of the oracle bones excavated from the well-known pit YH127. It belongs to a late period of the age of Wu Ding. The penned characters of the engraved inscription have been additionally filled in with color – the large characters with vermillion, and the small characters with brown. The oracular inscription's contents primarily have to do with punitive expeditions. Two strokes were used to carve the large characters, which fully demonstrate an energetic calligraphic style.
