Abstract

The symbol in oracle inscriptions of Yin Ruins is interpreted as Shu, but scholars cannot reach consensus on its geographic location. From analyzing the relationship between Shu and Shang as well as the geographic positions of other countries related to Shu, this paper tries to find out the specific geographic location of Shu as well as its political status during the Yin Dynasty.
