The"Zai(在)+Place Name+OfficialTitle+Personal's Name"Structure in the Oracle Bone Inscriptions
There is a structure of"Zai(在)+place name+official title+person's name"in the oracle bone inscriptions of the Yin Ruins.Official names such as Dog(犬)、Tian(田)、Mu(牧)and Wei(卫)often appear in this structure.It shows the most complex form,and it also has some reduced forms.The"Zai □ Tian"in oracle bone inscriptions should not be interpreted as a field in a certain place,but as a field official in a certain place.The"(农)"after"Zai □ Tian"does not refer to the person who cultivates,but to the person's name.
