Oracle bone inscriptions are the oldest systematically written characters in China, and their periodization and chronology are essential tasks in historical research. However, current deep-learning models face significant challenges when they are used to recognize oracle bone images directly. These models can only achieve an accuracy of no more than 45%. As the research on the periodization of oracle bones mainly relies on the characters inscribed on the bones, a domain knowledge-based oracle bone classification model is proposed that improves the recognition accuracy of Vision Transformer (ViT) by 5.28%. The proposed approach incorporates results obtained from oracle bone character detection to provide a more effective recognition object. Moreover, a novel model with a style network and category embedding is proposed in this paper that focuses on characters, resulting in a notable improvement in recognition accuracy of 16.01%. Our study reveals the importance of domain knowledge in the classification of historical documents, and it presents new insights into using artificial intelligence for assisting in historical document organization tasks.
