To represent the Book of Historical Documents (Shang Shu) and similar classical texts(2011/08/12)
    The first eight of the nine chapters of Warring States Bamboo Strips Collected By Tsinghua University (Series One) are from The Book of Historical Documents and similar classical texts. The Book of Historical Documents, a collection of ancient texts, is the most important source for research in pre-Qin history. Confucius was said to have compiled The Book of Historical Documents, and his version had as many as 100 chapters, most of which, however, were lost because of Qin's "burning of books". At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Fu Sheng from Jinan transmitted 28 chapters, which were called the "New Text" Shang Shu. At a late stage of the reign of the Han Emperor Jing (or in the opinion of some scholars during the time of Emperor Wu), the "Old Text" Shang Shu, which had 16 additional chapters, was excavated from the wall of Confucius' home in Qufu, but it then disappeared in the mist of history. Another version, called "Qi Shu" (writing in lacquer), which Dulin obtained from Xizhou, was not passed down, either. More than two thousand years then passed before the Tsinghua bamboo strips were discovered.
    "Jin Teng" is found in both the "New Text" Shang Shu transmitted from Fusheng and the Tsinghua bamboo strips. The title of the bamboo strip version is "King Wu was sick and the Duke of Zhou wished to suffer the disease for his lord". "Jin Teng" is an important chapter in The Book of Historical Documents. It recounts that shortly after eliminating Shang Zhou's King Wu was sick in bed and the Duke of Zhou, the King's brother, prayed to suffer the disease for him, which showed the Duke of Zhou's loyalty. Compared to the transmitted version, there are many differences in Tsinghua bamboo strips. These are extremely important for research in early Zhou history. Take the following as an example: According to the bamboo strips, King Wu got sick three years after the elimination of Shang, while the transmitted version indicates only two years. Several sentences about augury in the transmitted version are not found in the bamboo strips. In the latter, it is said that "the Duke of Zhou lived in the east for three years", while in the transmitted record we read: "The Duke of Zhou lived in the east for two years."
    In the Tsinghua bamboo strips, there are also classical texts similar to The Book of Historical Documents that had not been previously seen, such as "Bao Xun" in the first series, which has never been known from the “burning of books”. The bamboo strips of "Bao Xun" record the last words of Zhou's King Wen to his royal heir (who became King Wu) and mentions two tales about Shun and Shang's distant ancestor Shang Jia-Wei. The idea of "Zhong" (middle, centre) contained in this chapter has many philosophical meanings. Its materials were published and have already stimulated a great discussion in the scholarly world.
