In fact, there are still many changes in the Western Zhou Jinwen clan emblem: one is the transfer of the geographical distribution center of the clan emblem, the second is the increase in the number of clan emblem bronzes, the third is the decrease in the types of clan emblems, the fourth is the increase in personal names, place names, and official names, and the fifth is the change in the function and nature of the clan emblems. Correctly understanding these changes in the Emblem of the Jinwen Clan of the Western Zhou Dynasty is of great significance for the in-depth understanding of the clan emblems and Japanese names of the Yin Shang cultural marks that appeared on the bronze ware of the Zhou people at that time, the dispersal and migration of a large number of Yin relic clans to integrate with the Zhou ethnic groups, and the significant reduction of the Yin relics emblem and the recognition of the Zhou culture in the middle and late Western Zhou Dynasty.
