After the Sima family (the emperor family of Jin dynasty) went south of Chang Jiang river, China become two independent countries, south and north. Both south and north countries have 4 or 5 dynasty. This is the longest time of split and chaos. But calligraphy still have some great achievements. Two schools of calligraphy formed during this time. The south dynasties inherited the custom of Jin dynasty. Tablet were forbidden since Jin dynasty so there're more ties. But the north dynasties didn't have this prohibition thus there're more tablets.

Ancient Chinese oracle bones are pieces of bone or turtle shell bearing the oldest body of knowledge ever found in ancient Chinese writing. The Oracle bones,that have been found, contain text that sheds a lot of light on Ancient China. The bones date back to the end of the Shang Dynasty.
Until the oracle bones were discovered, it had never been proven that the Shang Dynasty ever existed.
Now around 150,000 oracle bones have been unearthed, many of them in Anyang. It has now been proven that the Yinxu ruins at Anyang were once the capital of the Shang Dynasty.
