Features: During his research on oracle bone script, Luo Zhenyu authored three significant works: "A Study of the Oracle Bone Script of the Yin Dynasty," "A Commentary on the Oracle Bone Script of Yin," (first edition), and "A Revised and Enlarged Commentary on the Oracle Bone Script of Yin." After the publication of "A Study of the Oracle Bone Script of the Yin Dynasty," Luo Zhenyu made "corrections" on Tian Mei, which were later included in "A Commentary on the Oracle Bone Script of Yin" (first edition). After the first edition was published, Luo Zhenyu made "handwritten annotations and corrections," which were later integrated into "A Revised and Enlarged Commentary on the Oracle Bone Script of Yin." The relationship between these works, as described by Mr. Chen Mengjia, is "merely a form of revision and expansion." However, this "revision and expansion" not only reflects the continuous deepening of Luo Zhenyu's research on oracle bone script but also indirectly reflects the progress of early oracle bone script studies. Therefore, we have compiled these three works—the "corrected" edition of "A Study of the Oracle Bone Script of the Yin Dynasty," the "handwritten annotated and corrected" edition of "A Commentary on the Oracle Bone Script of Yin" (first edition), and "A Revised and Enlarged Commentary on the Oracle Bone Script of Yin"—and published them in facsimile for academic research. The title of the book is "A Commentary on the Oracle Bone Script of Yin," as this work is considered a foundational text in the field of oracle bone script research and is renowned for pioneering the study of oracle bone script decipherment.
