Bamboo Annals

Bamboo Annals

Chinese (Pinyin)  Zhushu Jinian  or  (Wade-Giles romanization) Chu-shu Chi-nien 

      set of Chinese court records written on bamboo slips, from the state of Wei, one of the many small states into which China was divided during the Dong (Eastern) Zhou dynasty (770–256 BCE). The state records were hidden in a tomb uncovered some 6 miles (10 km) southwest of the present-day city of Weihui in Henan province about 279 CE, when the use of bamboo slips had already gone out of style. The records acquired the name under which they have since been known. The Bamboo Annals contain one of the few written records of the earliest period in Chinese history, but the originals have been lost, and the later copies that survive have been proved to contain much spurious information.
