The authenticity of Guwen Shangshu has been the important issue on the research ofChinese ancient history,which is so influenced. Especially the methods and achievement ofdistinguishing the truthfulness of the Qing dynasty version of Guwen Shangshu have been themain focus and reference for scholars on Ancient History Discrimination Mythology. However,the work of discrimination in the Qing dynasty was not perfect and there are still some doubtfulpoints.In recent years, as many scripts on wooden and bamboo slips and silk from Qing and Handynasties have been discovered, academic viewpoints on ancient books have accordinglychanged, some scholars begin to restudy the issues of Guwen Shangshu, review the books,explore new theory and methodology. Recently, the discussion of the Guwen Shangshu issuereveals the complexity, deep academic and cultural intrinsic values.Under the academic background, this article focuses on the becoming papers andcharacteristics on the Guwen Shangshu issues. In order to study the origin of GuwenShangshu written by Kong Anguo from the perspective of ‘reviewing the ancient books’, it startsby analyzing the origin of the book, investigating the process of spreading and evolution, as wellas writing and becoming papers during the western Han dynasty; the study seeks deeperunderstanding on the essence of document resources such as Shang shu, and the characteristicsof spreading and evolution; also provides new viewpoints and thoughts on recognition andresolving the issues on Guwen Shangshu.The first chapter is introduction, which reflects the Guwen Shangshu issues and exploresthe new research methods. First of all, the study reviews the origin of Guwen ShangShu issues;summaries the contemporary academic background, especially the reviews of modern scholars,and new developments on research that produced by unearthed documents; takes steps to explorethe specific issues of the books and retrospect the origin by combining the background andperspective of ‘reviewing the ancient books’.The second chapter reviews the origin of the document resources such as Shang shu,especially the relationship between that and the dynastic officers system to demonstrate thereliability of the document resources such as Shang shu. This kind of documents came from therecord of the official historian and was compiled by the official historian of the later ages, whichemerged together with the dynastic officers system, especially the official historian system. They are the important ways for the official historian assisting government. Therefore, the documentresources such as Shang shu aimed at the inheritance of the kingly way and the methods of theadministration of a country, in order to provide the institutional, mental and cultural resources.For example, the Confucian metal inheritance Zhongdao has a deep origin. Referring to theShangShu, Yi Zhoushu and the Qinghua Bamboo script named Baoxun, we can find that therewere systemic inheritances of the Zhongdao in the document resources such as Shangshu.The third chapter discusses the spread issue of the document resources in the Dong ZhouDynasty. In the background of the politic and culture split, the document resources such asShangshu spread in different areas and cultural areas and appeared evolution, change with thecharacteristic on appearance. From the new unearthed bamboo slip and silk documents, We canfind the wide rand spread of the academics and culture in the Dong Zhou Dynasty.of thedocument resources. From the new unburied bamboo and silk script we can find the wide randspread of the academics and culture. Different kinds of the documents were spread in differentplaces, including the document resources such as Shangshu. With the comparison between thequotation from the ancient books and records and the Shangshu we can find the differencesbetween the document resources such as Shangshu and the version of it by now. Even in thebackground of the political split and the cultural difference, the essence of the documents wasnot changed, but there must be some differences between the different versions in the aspects ofthe script, sentences, chapters and the name of the chapters.The forth chapter discusses the relationship between Confucius and the ShangShu and theinfluences from this to the Shangshu text. Confucius knew very well the document resourcessuch as Shangshu and deeply understood the nature, connotation and function. He put thedocuments in order and studied them, which in the important reflection of his inheritance,development of the official study and the ancestors methods. With this progress, function of theShangShu and the connection between the Confucius education and the Shangshu were formed.The named deletion of the Shangshu by Confucius was not the deletion and discard but thechoose of the parts that were important in content, vivid in theme and integrated in version. Inthis way, the first version of the famous Shangshu was formed. However, there were otherversions of the document resources spread in the Confucian school, which can be found in theversions of Zisi and Mengzi.The fifth chapter discusses the relationship between Kong Anguo and the Guwen Shangshu.First of all, we study the position and the influence of the Guwen Shangshu hidden in the wall inthe academic history. Then, with the use of the documents we study the academic backgroundand origin of Kong Anguo as well as the style of study. In order to make a good understanding ofthe progress of the sorting and the recomposing of the Guwen Shangshu by Kong Anguo, we used the bamboo slip and silk. Among that, we also make a special reference work on theShangshu Xu to clarify some important arguments. At last, we infer that Kong’s sorting of theGuwen Shanshu included both the determination of the script and the correction of the sentences,which mean to make a change of the form according to the ages on condition that the theme ofthe Shangshu was not changed. All of these work opened the Han and Wei Dynasties inheritancecourse of Guwen Shangshu.The sixth chapter is the conclusion part, we point out that we should not simply grid outnegation of negation that from the discrimination of the Guwen Shangshu to the introspection ofthe modern scholars or the new questions and new understanding of the unearthed documents.Under the new background, we should focus on the study of the formation of the GuwenShangshu. Based on the main part of the essay, we make the conclusion of the characteristics ofthe Shangshu, which includes the combination of different versions and the modification of theversions. We point out that the dialectics of ‘change’ and ‘not change’ in this process, whichmeans the words and the form changed according to ages but the essence and the theme weresame in general. All of these characteristics are meaningful to understand the formation and theappearance of the Guwen Shangshu, which will help us to recognize the issues about the GuwenShangshu and other relevant issues.
