Systematic records of solar eclipses started from Chunqiu period. Such records are complete and regular from the Han to the Qing Dynasties. Before then, in the Xia, Shang and West Zhou Dynasties, records of solar eclipses were vague and scattered. Many people investigated them, but it is difficult to get final conclusions. With recent progress in astronomical computation and historic chronology, new achievements have been reached in studies of early solar eclipses. These records include “Sanmiao” and “Zhongkang” eclipses in the legends of the Xia Dynasty; “Three flames ate the Sun”, “The sun and the moon were eclipsed” and “The sun was Zhi” on the oracle bones of the Shang Dynasty; “Tianda yi”, “Double dawn” and “Poem eclipse” in the literature of West Zhou Dynasty.
