商代甲骨文中的新星记录，人为学者所重视，但近年有学者加以怀疑。１９９７年新出现的一组西周早期青铜器的铭文，证明甲骨文品确系“星”字，象群星之形。不过，甲骨文并非“设”字，而应释“凿”，读为“兆”，指自然异象，因此“新星”实系天象无疑。 Nova Star records in Shang Dynasty, which are valued by scholars, have been questioned by some scholars in recent years. A new set of inscriptions from the early Western Zhou Dynasty bronze wares in 1997 proved that the inscriptions on the oracle bone are indeed “star” characters, which are like stars. However, Oracle is not “set”, and should be interpreted as “chisel”, read as “trillion”, refers to the natural vision, so “nova” is indeed a natural phenomenon.
