The discovery process and historical significance of Jizhong book

A batch of ancient books on bamboo slips discovered and unearthed in an ancient tomb of the Warring States Period in Ji County (now Ji County, Henan Province) during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Western Jin Dynasty. About the specific time when bamboo slips were unearthed, there is a total of five years in Xianning (that is, 279 AD) in the handed down literature. See "The Book of Jin. The Ji of Emperor Wudi"), the first year of Taikang (28 years. There are four kinds of statements, such as the preface to Zuo Zhuan in the Spring and Autumn Period, the second year of Taikang (Biography of Jin Shu Xi) and the eighth year of Taikang (Shangshu Xian You Yi De Justice).

These bamboo slips were discovered by a native of Jijun named Bu Zhun (sound Fǒu Biāo) when he was excavating an ancient Wei tomb (Wei Xiangwang). It is said that the number of these bamboo slips is quite huge, and dozens of cars are always loaded during handling. His short essays are all written in "Kedou Wen" (that is, the ancient writing of the Warring States period), which is difficult to recognize and read. After years of interpretation and collation by scholars of Jin Dynasty, such as Xun Xu and Shu Xi, about ten kinds of pre-Qin ancient books were finally written. These ancient books are collectively referred to as "Ji Zhong Shu". Or the name "Bamboo Book", "Ji Zhong Gu Wen" and so on. However, the original bamboo slips of the Book of Jizhong have long since passed away.

after sorting out, there are 12 chronicles of bamboo slips, which are named after they were originally written on bamboo slips. They describe the historical events of Jin and Wei in Xia, Shang, Western Zhou, Spring and Autumn Period, which is different from the traditional records, and can correct the historical events of Warring States recorded in Historical Records. The original Jane has long since passed away. The ancient version of Annals of Bamboo Books was lost in the Song Dynasty (96-1279). In the Qing dynasty (1644-184), scholars compiled school-based books, which were important materials for studying ancient history.
