Is the history of Shang Dynasty recorded in writing?

Of course, there are written records, such as The Book of Songs, The Warring States Policy, The Book of Rites, Shangshu and so on. In the pre-Qin period and later historical records.

But for archaeology, the records of later generations can only be used as circumstantial evidence, not as direct evidence. There must be a written record of the same period to be a direct voucher.

Of course, it existed in Shang Dynasty, so Oracle Bone Inscriptions, first scattered in various Chinese medicine shops, later unearthed a large number of Oracle Bone Inscriptions fragments in Anyang Yin Ruins. Although each piece has more or less characters, it is mainly used for divination, but it also records a large number of historical materials of the Shang Dynasty, and it is determined by the internationally accepted carbon 14 method, and its time is consistent with its recording age and subsequent historical records, thus confirming the Shang Dynasty.

This involves the problem of the pre-Xia dynasty. Although there are many historical records before and after the Qin Dynasty, and a large number of cultural relics have been unearthed in the Xia Dynasty, there are no written materials of the same period, or even records of Oracle Bone Inscriptions, so strictly speaking, the Xia Dynasty can only be regarded as a legend.
