Features: The "Corpus of Dunhuang Social and Historical Documents in the British Library" consists of thirty volumes, and this book is the fifth volume. This series uses all the Chinese non-Buddhist documents collected by the British Library as its source material. These ancient manuscripts from several hundred or over a thousand years ago are all transcribed into traditional characters and meticulously collated to correct any errors in the original texts. It aims to resolve issues such as the classification, naming, and dating of the documents involved. After each document's transcription, there is a collation note and an index of academic research on the document over the past ninety years. The documents included in this book hold significant reference value for the study of ancient China's politics, economy, military, religion, ethnicity, history, art, language, literature, music, dance, society, architecture, science and technology, as well as Sino-Western exchanges.
