Oracle Bone Inscriptions did not record the Xia Dynasty. Why did the Zhou Dynasty know the existence of the Xia Dynasty?

Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties are three dynasties that people often blurt out. Up to now, these three dynasties have a history of thousands of years, but we know little about them, including the information recorded in historical books. Now we can only learn about them with the help of archaeological experts.

The Xia Dynasty has been in power for more than 4,000 years, and it has changed the country into a home, which is what we call the Xia Dynasty. The Xia Dynasty in history appeared at this time. Up to now, many historians have great doubts about the existence of the Xia Dynasty, because there are no words about the Xia Dynasty in the unearthed cultural relics. The best way to prove the existence of an era is words, but coincidentally, we didn't see the relevant words of the Xia Dynasty, which made everyone very confused. Shang Dynasty is a dynasty after Xia Dynasty. There are no words and information about Xia Dynasty on the unearthed cultural relics, and there is no mention of whether there was a war between the two dynasties.

According to the records of cultural relics unearthed in the Zhou Dynasty, although the two dynasties were separated by more than 600 years, the Zhou Dynasty recorded the complete information of the Xia Dynasty, which was very complete. Aside from the imperial system, calendar, etiquette and records of many important events in the Xia Dynasty, it can be seen from the cultural relics unearthed in the Zhou Dynasty that the Xia Dynasty did exist, but there is no trace of the Xia Dynasty in the Oracle Bone Inscriptions found today, which is a very puzzling thing.

First of all, in the turbulent Shang Dynasty, the world was in chaos, so the information related to the Xia Dynasty was lost, which is a very high probability. Secondly, Oracle Bone Inscriptions's role in ancient times was divination, not recording history, so it is very likely that Oracle Bone Inscriptions did not find the information of Xia Dynasty. Finally, Oracle Bone Inscriptions at that time may be considered as a keel, and the keel that recorded the information of Xia Dynasty was eaten. Generally speaking, it is not necessary for the Zhou Dynasty to fabricate the facts of the Xia Dynasty. At that time, the Zhou Dynasty was also in a stable period, and historians recorded history in official dynasties, so the Zhou Dynasty found the information of the Xia Dynasty on a certain basis.
