A Query to the Report About the Period Achievements Between 1996 and 2000 in Xia Shang Zhou Dynastic History Project (Simplified Edition)

Some conclusions drawn in The Report about the Period Achievements between 1996 and 2000 in Xia Shang Zhou Dynastic History Project(Simplified Edition) is not strict or wrong except that year of 1042 BC is the first year of the reign of Emperor Zhou Cheng based on the historical records in Shaogao of The Book of History is acceptable.In the light of the historical documents before Qin dynasty we can make sure of the exact date that Emperor Zhou Wu abolished Shang dynasty and the years that some emperors at Xi Zhou dynasty and the previous were on the throne.And on the basic of the inscriptions on the bronze wares unearthed,we can know the years that some emperors at Xi Zhou dynasty were in power.Relying on the epigraph on the bronze wares and on the historical documents before Qin dynasty we can make out the years that all the 10 emperors at Xi Zhou dynasty before the first year of Gonghe were on the throne.According to the historical documents before Qin dynasty,it was recorded only in Zhushujinian when the emperors at Tang Yu Xia Shang Zhou dynasties were in power.However some records between the beginning of Xi Zhou dynasty and the first year of Gonghe in Zushujinian is unbelievable for they are distorted.But the annals after the first year of Gonghe,and the records about Tang Yu Xia Shang dynasties still keep original state unearthed at Jin dynasty without distoration.So it should be certainly believed.Therefore we can list the years that the emperors from Tangyao to the last year of Xizhou were on the throne.And a credible chronological table of Tang Yu Xia Shang Zhou dynasties is natural to be made.
