Oracle Bone Inscriptions did not record the Xia Dynasty, why did the Zhou Dynasty know?

Oracle Bone Inscriptions did not record the Xia Dynasty, but the reasons why the Zhou Dynasty knew the Xia Dynasty include the following possibilities: The first is that the Zhou Dynasty and the Xia Dynasty are not too far apart, and the common people naturally know it by word of mouth. Secondly, there are records in Oracle bone inscriptions, which were still recognizable at that time, but now the time interval is too long, and some Oracle bone inscriptions have been lost or have not been fully translated. The third possibility is that there are other recording methods, but I can't find them now.

Shang dynasty has existed for more than 500 years. Although it has been a long time, it is something to be proud of that the Shang Dynasty wiped out the Xia Dynasty, so this thing of wiping out the Xia Dynasty will surely spread among the people. So people in Shang dynasty must know about Xia dynasty, and then it will spread to Zhou dynasty. For example, as we are now, the history we know is not all from historical books, but some from folk stories.

For example, the existence and discovery of Oracle bone inscriptions were not discovered until the late Qing Dynasty. Thousands of years have passed. How many things can happen in thousands of years? Thousands of years have been enough to make a lot of Oracle Bone Inscriptions data disappear, but now archaeologists don't have all the Oracle Bone Inscriptions data, so it is far from certain that there is no record of Xia Dynasty in Oracle Bone Inscriptions. After all, I didn't find that Oracle Bone Inscriptions didn't preserve and protect this thing before.

Furthermore, even if Oracle Bone Inscriptions has been discovered, some of it cannot be confirmed. Pay back 10 thousand yuan, not to mention that Shang Dynasty knew about Xia Dynasty. We have been away from the Xia Dynasty for so long. Even without Oracle Bone Inscriptions, we still know the existence of Xia Dynasty. Therefore, the existence of a dynasty was not completely recorded by Oracle Bone Inscriptions.
