Features: The collection "Rao Zongyi—Newly Unearthed Documents and Arguments" (Exquisite Edition) presented to you embodies Professor Rao's latest ideas and creative academic thoughts in recent years. To ensure perfection, all papers have been meticulously proofread and supplemented with annotations, basically compiling Professor Rao's recent research on newly unearthed documents from various archaeological sites. In the past two decades, with the continuous discovery of underground bamboo and silk manuscripts, especially the recent publication of the Guodian, Shangbo Batch 3 Chu Bamboo Slips, and the inscriptions on the Bin Gong Hu, it has had a profound impact on the field of history, particularly on academic research, completely changing our previous understanding of ancient Chinese history. Faced with the true nature of history, it can also be said that it is our responsibility to reassess the academic history of the pre-Qin period. The prerequisite for stepping out of the era of ancient studies is the need to reconstruct ancient Chinese characters. In the early 1980s of the 20th century, Professor Rao, with his far-sighted vision, proposed that "exploring a culture must combine field archaeology, written records, and the study of oracle bone inscriptions into three aspects."
