First Research Results on Warring States Bamboo Strips Collected by Tsinghua University Released(2011/08/09)
    In July 2008, Tsinghua University rescued and received into its collection a massive number of Warring States bamboo strips that had previously been smuggled out of China. These artifacts have been arranged and their quantity calculated. Altogether there are more than 2,500 pieces, some of which are fragments. Most of the inscriptions are texts related to the classics (Jing) and histories (Shi). The Tsinghua bamboo strips are thus concerned with the core of ancient Chinese culture and have already awakened strong interest among researchers both in China and abroad. No doubt this significant discovery will have a broad and deep influence on such disciplines    as history, archaeology, ancient character studies and philology.
After two years of intensive effort, the research team, whose first director is Professor Li Xueqin, chief of the Center for Excavated Texts Research and Preservation of Tsinghua University, has completed the compiling work of the Warring States Bamboo Strips Collected by Tsinghua University (Series One). The book was published at the end of 2010 by Zhongxi Shuju of the Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing Group (SLAPG). On January 5th, a news conference and publishing symposium were held at Tsinghua University. Xie Weihe, Tsinghua University Vice President, and Zhang Xiaomin, Board Chairman of SLAPG, both spoken at the ceremony. More than forty scholars and other experts attended, including Professor Qiu Xigui from Fudan University and Professor Huang Dekuan from Anhui University. As the chief editor of the book, Professor Li Xueqin introduced its main content, and academic and cultural value.
   The research team of Tsinghua University has discovered more than 60 texts and plans to publish 15 series of arrangement reports. The first series contains nine chapters, including "Yin Zhi", "Yin Gao", "Cheng Wu", "Bao Xun", "Qi Ye", "Jin Teng", "Huang Men", "Zhai Gong" and "Chu Ju". The whole book was edited and published in accordance with standards for arrangement reports. It contains photographs of the front and back of each bamboo strip in their original color and size, as well as photos of characters magnified two-fold. Transcription, annotation and character collection are also attached. Its main content and value to both scholarship and culture can be summarized under the following five points.
