The Warring States
摘要
In December 1975 a discovery with a far-reaching impact on Chinese historiography occurred at the location of Shuihudi, Yunmeng County of Hubei Province. A farmer working on a water conservancy project unearthed in the field the tomb of a low-level Qin official. Under the body of the deceased were inscribed bamboo slips, mostly legal documents from the State of Qin. These are the famous Shuihudi Qin Bamboo Slips.
