:::::The [http://www.kaogu.cn/en/Chinese%20Archaeology/4/The%20Cinnabar%20Inscriptions%20Discovered%20at%20the%20Xiaoshuangqiao%20Site,%20Zhengzhou.pdf article] is in English, but it doesn't make a strong case for this being writing. [[User talk:Kanguole|Kanguole]] 14:27, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
::::::Oh, I missed that, sorry; thank you. (I failed to really inspect the ref and somehow thought it was a book, and in Chinese.) Considering this, I think all mention of pre-Anyang finds should be removed from [[Chinese calligraphy]], as they are not germane to the – fairly specialised – subject (if anything, they belong to the general article [[Chinese characters]]); well, the painted symbols (or designs, or ornaments, or whatever they might be) ''would'' be marginally relevant ''if'' they were writing, but pre-Shang signs certainly are not. What do you think? --[[User:Florian Blaschke|Florian Blaschke]] ([[User talk:Florian Blaschke|talk]]) 02:18, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

::I don't think that Beckwith's theory of an IE origin for Chinese belongs anywhere in WP, because no scholar seems to take it seriously.
::Benedict made a brief remark (''Conspectus'', p. 197), without any supporting evidence except the differences between Chinese and most ST languages. Nishida made an argument based on the language of the oracle bone inscriptions. [[User talk:Kanguole|Kanguole]] 01:55, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
