According to legend, Shangshu was compiled by Confucius, but some titles were later added by Confucianism. At the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, there were 29 articles, which were copied in the popular official script of the Han Dynasty, and were called Jinwen Shangshu.
According to legend, the history of ancient literature found in the wall of Confucius' mansion during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (there are few lost articles, more than the history of modern prose 16) and the history of pseudo-ancient literature proposed by Hu Mei in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (25 more than the history of modern prose). The popular versions of Notes to Thirteen Classics and Shangshu are the co-edited versions of Jinwen Shangshu and pseudo-ancient prose Shangshu.
