The Golden Script, which has always been thought to have appeared after the oracle, actually existed long before the oracle.

As early as the Han Dynasty, Jin Wen has been continuously unearthed and studied by scholars. Jin Wen is the main material for the study of the Western Zhou, Spring and Autumn Period, and Warring States period, and it is also the most precious material for the study of pre-Qin history.
