Features: The 20th century was an era of major discoveries in bamboo and silk documents, especially the significant finds since the 1970s, which shocked both Chinese and international academia. Today, the study of bamboo and silk documents has become a specialized field, alongside oracle bone script studies and Dunhuang studies, all regarded as international prominent disciplines. To promote the development of bamboo and silk document research, the Institute of Bamboo and Silk Documents at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences has successively edited and published Journal of Bamboo and Silk Documents (Volumes 1-3), Journal of Bamboo and Silk Documents 2001, and Bamboo and Silk Documents Translation Series (Volumes 1-2), all of which have received unanimous praise from the academic community. The present volume, Journal of Bamboo and Silk Documents 2002-2003, collects cutting-edge research achievements in bamboo and silk document studies in recent years. The papers included in this book range from micro-level textual research to macro-level interpretations, making it a valuable reference for experts in history, philosophy, archaeology, paleography, epigraphy, and a broad readership.
