Features: The Catalogue and Interpretation of Gold Inscriptions of the Two Zhou Periods was compiled by Guo Moruo and is a groundbreaking work in the study of bronze artifacts and inscriptions, offering great reference value for researching gold inscriptions of the Zhou Dynasty. In 1932, the author compiled The Systematic Collection of Gold Inscriptions of the Two Zhou Periods, which was published in photolithography by the Japanese Bunqiu Publishing House. Later, after further organization and supplementation, The Catalogue and Illustrations of Gold Inscriptions of the Two Zhou Periods was published by the Sanlian Bookstore in 1934. Subsequently, a reference chart of bronze artifacts of the Two Zhou Periods was created. Another work, The Catalogue and Interpretation of Gold Inscriptions of the Two Zhou Periods, was published by the Japanese Bunqiu Publishing House in 1936. In 1957, as the third volume of the Archaeological Monographs of the Institute of Archaeology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, the two books were combined under the title The Catalogue and Interpretation of Gold Inscriptions of the Two Zhou Periods, published by Science Press. The illustrations included in this volume are from the The Catalogue and Interpretation of Gold Inscriptions of the Two Zhou Periods, comprising the Illustrated Catalogue and the Recorded Catalogue. The Illustrated Catalogue focuses on the forms of artifacts, while the Recorded Catalogue focuses on the inscriptions. We have conducted collation, annotations, supplemented some rubbings, and replaced the original unclear photographs and rubbings.
