Description

This scholarly volume examines archaeological manuscripts and unearthed materials from ancient China, focusing on silk books and bamboo slips recovered from tombs dating to the Warring States period, Qin and Han dynasties, and Turfan manuscripts. As the second volume in a two-volume set on Chinese ancient characters and unearthed literature, it presents the author's research on Chinese scripts studies and rare textual discoveries. These excavated documents serve as vital supplements to classical references like Shuowen Jiezi, offering fresh insights into ancient Chinese writing systems, language evolution, and historical understanding. The book bridges archaeological findings with textual scholarship, making it essential for researchers, historians, and students of Chinese palaeography and ancient civilisation.
