For over 3,000 years, the story of Fu Hao—a powerful Shang dynasty queen, general, and priestess—lay hidden. One of the most influential women in history, her very existence seemed lost to time. But then, a puzzle: mysterious “dragon bones” led to an unexpected discovery by China’s first female archaeologist, Zheng Zhenxiang.

This is the story of that discovery. Journey back to Fu Hao’s China and uncover a life revealed through two extraordinary time capsules: the spectacular tomb filled with dazzling bronze and jade treasures, and the earliest examples of Chinese writing etched onto turtle shells and animal bones. Explore these artifacts to piece together her captivating story. Learn about life in the Shang dynasty, decode the secrets of ancient writing, and investigate the masterful technologies used to create the incredible objects that accompanied a queen into the afterlife.

这就是关于那个发现的故事。让我们穿越回妇好所处的中国，通过两个非凡的时间胶囊，来揭示她的一生：一是她那座出土了璀璨青铜器和玉器宝藏的宏伟墓葬；二是刻在龟甲和兽骨上的、中国最早的文字。

通过探索这些文物，拼凑出她那引人入胜的故事。了解商朝的生活，解读古老文字的秘密，并深入研究那些精湛的工艺技术，正是这些技术，创造出了伴随这位王后走向来世的非凡器物。
