The Unparalleled Sage of War: Yinqueshan's Decoding of Sun Tzu's Art of War
by Yuenan
About This Novel
In the spring of 1972, an ancient tomb from the Han Dynasty was discovered in Yinqueshan, Linyi City, Shandong Province, and a number of bamboo slips were unearthed. The emergence of these treasures has opened the prelude to the "archaeological renaissance" since the founding of the People's Republic of China. In particular, the simultaneous unearthing of the sacred military classic "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and the authentic copy of "Sun Bin's Art of War" that had been lost for more than a thousand years has suddenly solved an academic mystery that has been debated for more than a thousand years, and opened an epoch-making page for the study of these two military books. This book uses documentary literature to describe the entire process of the discovery and excavation of the Yinqueshan Han Tomb, as well as the scholars' research, interpretation and deciphering of the unearthed bamboo writings. The author Yue Nan is good at describing the archaeological excavation process in a literary way, integrating history and new archaeological discoveries, which is different from boring archaeological excavation reports and traditional documentary literature. With a rigorous attitude and well-organized writing techniques, the archaeological excavation process is closely related to the historical sea, recreating ancient Chinese civilization for readers, making the archaeological process an object of public reading.
