Program on Asia’s Intellectual Values conducts focused research on bamboo slips that can supplement the existing documents. It is because the bamboo slips do not just fill up the blank spaces in historical sources but have important values that completely change the current perspectives. Yet, what is recorded on the bamboo slips should not be considered a universal truth; the temporal and spatial contexts must be considered. This lecture by Prof. Abe Soichiro will offer an important opportunity for us to verify the historical value of the bamboo slips from Linxiang County where many bamboo slips are being excavated these days.
