Are there any records about oil in ancient China?

Yes For example, Shen Kuo in the Song Dynasty wrote in his book Meng Xi: "Yan Guo Yan Guo has oil ... It is like pure paint, burning like hemp, but the smoke is thick and the curtains are dark ... After this incident, it will surely be popular all over the world, and it will be out of control from now on. At most, it is covered with oil, born in endless land, and sometimes it is exhausted. " Shen Kuo discovered oil in Song Dynasty, and predicted that "it will be popular all over the world", which is very rare. Shen Kuo called this natural mineral "oil" for the first time. There are similar records in other ancient books.
