Wangshan bamboo texts
The Wangshan bamboo texts ( Chinese 望 山 楚 簡 , Pinyin Wangshan Chujian or Wangshan Chu jian , English Chu Bamboo Slips from Wangshan ) were written in 1965 in a grave in the village of Wangshan (望 山村) of the Chuandian (川 店镇) municipality of the then district Jiangling (江陵 县) discovered in the Chinese province of Hubei . There are over 270 strips of bamboo from the late Warring States period . They report on divination and sacrifice. After an administrative reform of September 29, 1994, the site no longer belongs to Jiangling County, but to the Jingzhou (荆州 区) district of the district-free city of Jingzhou .
