It is one of the largest text finds from the Chu period and an extremely important find for Chinese palaeography from this period. They come from an excavated grave whose owner Shao Tuo 316 BC. Chr. Died.

In terms of their importance, they are comparable to the Guodian finds from 1993. They made sure that the history of the Chinese script had to be rewritten. The finds with records of divination and sacrifices for the grave lord were sensational.
