This manuscript starts from the current and ancient versions of the "Bamboo Book Annals" that have been circulated to this day, combs the dissemination process of the two versions, discusses the writing, original appearance and mutual relationship between the two, puts forward the view that the current version was formed in the Kaiyuan Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty, and affirms the value of the current version in restoring the ancient version. Then the chronology of the Western Zhou, Shang, and Xia in the "Bamboo Chronicles" was deduced one by one, and the revised chronology of the Xia, Shang, and Western Zhou Dynasties in the "Bamboo Chronicles" was compiled. At the same time, some conclusions about the results of the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dating projects were questioned. In the appendix, there were special discussions on the interpretation of the Li Gui inscription, the astronomical records in Guoyu, and the bronze calendar.

The stone carving corpus "has to move from traditional epigraphy to systematic scientific research, and the tasks to be completed are very heavy." This book attempts to make a comprehensive discussion to a certain extent in the context of detailed research on epitaphs. For example, comparing the words used in epitaphs in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, we summarized 93 euphemisms for death in epitaphs in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and 35 new euphemisms appeared in epitaphs in the Tang Dynasty. In addition, using bisyllabic word data from Sui and Tang epitaphs, the first examples of 21 words in related dictionaries were advanced, and 14 missing meanings and four types of word examples were supplemented. At the same time, by focusing on women's epitaphs in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, which accounted for a quarter of the total epitaphs in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, this paper preliminarily explains the differences in the terminology of women's epitaphs in the Middle Ages and the beginning of modern times. In addition, adapting to the characteristics of Chinese discourse, for the first time using unearthed documents as corpus, four factors for the cohesion of medieval epitaph discourse were summarized. The research in this book explores the value of epitaph corpus by integrating various elements of language. In terms of content, the euphemisms reflect the changes in etiquette and customs such as weddings and funerals, as well as the structure of judgment terms; it contributes to the improvement of related reference books; it involves the Tang Dynasty documents contained in the epitaph text, the words quoted from the epitaph, etc., And it also expands the perspective of the study of the epitaph material itself.

Archaeological research results in the past century have shown that although ancient Xinjiang (or the Western Regions) was a peripheral area of ​​major Asian and European civilizations, its unique geographical location made it a gathering place for exchanges between Eastern and Western civilizations. After the collision and integration of major Asian and European civilizations and the local civilizations of the Western Regions, a diverse cultural landscape was created and the unique development of this place was created. This book contains 13 papers related to archaeological research in Xinjiang, aiming to demonstrate Xinjiang's status as a bridge of exchange and communication between the East and the West, and to deepen the world's understanding of the multicultural culture of ancient Xinjiang. All countries in the world have different civilizations and have their own strengths. Only through equal exchanges and openness and tolerance can we promote the progress of human civilization and the peaceful development of the world.

Before opening this book, please think about a question: What kind of science is archeology? Digging graves to find antiques? Going over mountains and ridges to see rock walls? Traveling across mountains and rivers to visit the ruins? ...--Absolutely not! The real skill of archeology lies in how to use a small amount of information to analyze a large number of conclusions. How did Stein find clues from a few wooden boards purchased at the market to find the legendary ancient city of Jingjue? How to know what the ancient corpses 5,000 years ago ate, what diseases they had, and even where they went and what they did? How can we prove through the cultural relics unearthed from Han tombs in the city that Liu Sheng, Prince Jing of Zhongshan, was indeed a drinker and a womanizer? Is the real anti-grave robbing agency really that magical and technical? Why can the simple-designed "Luoyang Shovel" become an archaeological artifact? How to determine the age of a prehistoric site without written records? ... This book uses "case-solving" archaeological thinking to take you around 11 archaeological sites that shocked the world. However, the author of this book does not intend to merely popularize knowledge about those archaeological sites, but is committed to discussing with readers how to use archaeological thinking and vision to view cultural relics and look at archeology; how to discover new historical research materials, solve historical problems, and confirm or overturn existing conclusions in history books through thinking and practice like an archaeologist; how to integrate various knowledge and common sense to solve complex academic problems.

Mr. Su Bai is a master who creates paradigms and establishes systems in the Chinese archaeological community. This "Collection of Archaeological Manuscripts of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Tang and Song Dynasties" contains thirty-nine articles by Mr. Su. It is a representative work of archeology in the historical period and presents Mr. Su Bai's full and careful thinking on the archeology of this historical period. The book scientifically organizes typical archaeological materials from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Tang and Song Dynasties from multiple perspectives, including the evolution and development of ancient cities, changes in tomb forms, and the layout of temple ruins - from the "overlapping cities of ancient and modern times" Chang'an and Luoyang, to the rise and fall of the Zhang family in the Liao Tombs in Xuanhua, to the silver vase at the Jokhang Temple in Tibet, the vaults at Longxing Temple in Qingzhou, the murals at Yongle Palace in Shanxi, and even the jade insect cook at Horyuji Temple in Nara, Japan. Mr. Su Bai used a consistent method of mutual verification between archaeological practice and history and documents to build a clear system of classification and periodization for a large number of scattered archaeological materials, and put forward many weighty views, especially the advent of the concept and method of "urban archeology", which influenced and guided a large number of subsequent archaeologists.

"Five thousand years" has long been engraved in the genes of every Chinese, and archeology allows us to see another China that is similar but different from the China recorded in ancient books and documents. It may be difficult to say which of the two is more "real", but what is certain is that the Chinese civilization landscape we can see, thanks to the help of archeology, has become particularly wonderful and magnificent. Archaeological discoveries in the 20th century have greatly enriched our understanding of Chinese history and changed the world's basic view of Chinese civilization. The book selects ten representative archaeological sites from the major archaeological discoveries in China - the ancient city of Liangzhu in the Neolithic Age, the Erlitou ruins that can be called the earliest "China", the Yin Ruins in Anyang in the late Shang Dynasty, Sanxingdui in Guanghan that clears the fog of ancient Shu, Xiaohe Cemetery that witnesses the exchanges between Chinese and Western civilizations, the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin, the Tomb of Haihun Hou in the Han Dynasty, Chang'an City in the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Nanhai No. 1 Shipwreck in the Song Dynasty, and the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, respectively.

Each scene is like a "time capsule", showing the social life and cultural features of China at various stages, providing historical information independent of documents, and giving us another perspective on observing Chinese civilization. The book is richly illustrated and text-based. It combines the location diagrams, plan sections and unearthed important cultural relics in the archaeological report as much as possible to restore the original situation of the site for readers. It also provides background knowledge, discovery process, extended reading, museum exhibits and other information. It transforms the professional archaeological reports and academic research into knowledge readings for ordinary readers, which can be read by readers who are interested in history and archeology, as well as those who intend to visit the site museum.
