Features: During his research on oracle bone script, Luo Zhenyu authored three important works: "Examination of Shang Dynasty Divination Texts," "Examination and Interpretation of Yin Ruins Oracle Bone Script (First Edition)," and "Revised and Expanded Examination and Interpretation of Yin Ruins Oracle Bone Script." After the publication of "Examination of Shang Dynasty Divination Texts," Luo Zhenyu made "corrections" on Tian Mei, which were later included in "Examination and Interpretation of Yin Ruins Oracle Bone Script (First Edition)." After the first edition was published, Luo Zhenyu added "handwritten annotations and corrections," which were later integrated into "Revised and Expanded Examination and Interpretation of Yin Ruins Oracle Bone Script." The relationship between these works, as Mr. Chen Mengjia said, "is merely a form of revision and expansion." However, this "revision and expansion" not only reflects Luo Zhenyu's continuous deepening of oracle bone script research but also indirectly reflects the progress of early oracle bone script research. Therefore, we have compiled these three works—the "corrected" edition of "Examination of Shang Dynasty Divination Texts," the "handwritten annotated and corrected" edition of "Examination and Interpretation of Yin Ruins Oracle Bone Script (First Edition)," and "Revised and Expanded Examination and Interpretation of Yin Ruins Oracle Bone Script"—and published them in photolithography for academic research. The title of the book is "Examination and Interpretation of Yin Ruins Oracle Bone Script" because it is a foundational work in the field of oracle bone script research and is renowned for pioneering the study of oracle bone script decipherment.
