In July 2008, Tsinghua University rescued a collection of Warring States period bamboo manuscripts from abroad, known as the “Tsinghua bamboo manuscripts.” These bamboo manuscripts contain mostly early classics. In addition to texts comparable with ancient classics that have been passed down, like The Most Venerable Book (Shang Shu), there are numerous lost writings that have been unseen for over two thousand years. They hold significant academic value for gaining a more accurate understanding of pre-Qin ancient classics and reconstructing China’s early history. The new knowledge brought by the Tsinghua bamboo manuscripts and the renewed comprehension of traditional culture have garnered extensive attention from academia and society worldwide and is of paramount importance for the inheritance, dissemination, and innovative development of outstanding traditional Chinese culture. This volume’s main content is the English translation and background introduction of passages from the Tsinghua bamboo manuscripts that are related to or similar in style to the Lost Book of Zhou (Yi Zhou Shu), while also providing insights into the transmission of the Lost Book of Zhou text. The primary readers of this book are scholars engaged in the studies of early China and general readers interested in ancient Chinese civilization.
