Before the invention and popularization of paper, they were the most commonly used writing medium. With the Han Dynasty's management in the Hexi region, a large number of bamboo and wooden slips documents were left here. In September 2023, the Gansu Bamboo and Wooden Slips Museum was completed and opened, becoming the largest specialized museum in China for Han bamboo slips. 📍The Gansu Bamboo and Wooden Slips Museum is also a landmark building in Lanzhou. From Lanzhou Old Street, you can see the towering exterior of the museum from afar. The long and narrow ones are called 'jian', and the short and wide ones are called 'du'. The architectural design of the Gansu Bamboo and Wooden Slips Museum draws on the design concept of 'jian' on the left and 'du' on the right, extracting cultural symbols from elements such as pictographs, Han Dynasty architecture, and traditional spatial patterns, and innovatively applying them to express the idea of 'jian to carry classics, du to convey the way' with a modern and concise architectural form. Each piece of bamboo and wooden slip takes us back to a thousand years ago, vividly depicting scenes of life on the frontier. 📍Treasures of the museum: 'Four Seasons Monthly Ordinance', 'Expense Book of Chang Luo Hou', highlights of mileage slips: The museum's collection is rich, covering the history of bamboo and wooden slips discovery, Silk Road stories in bamboo and wooden slips, daily life of people on the frontier in the Han Dynasty, calligraphy art contained in Han bamboo slips, and many other aspects. It is an 'encyclopedia' recording life on the northwest frontier and a physical evidence of the development and prosperity of the Silk Road. 📍The 'Four Seasons Monthly Ordinance' from Dunhuang Xuanquan is currently the most complete Han Dynasty ecological protection legal document. Based on the ecological views of 'harmony between man and nature', 'seasonal prohibition', and 'combination of use and nurturing' inherited since pre-Qin times, it establishes a natural sequence based on 'four seasons', requiring that human activities and social production should follow the natural seasonal rules, and explicitly stipulates how to use and protect natural resources to advocate harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. It is equivalent to our current legal regulations. 📍The 'Expense Book of Chang Luo Hou Passing Xuanquan' is a first-class cultural relic. It was unearthed at the Xuanquan site in Dunhuang in 1990. There are 18 wooden slips, each 23 cm long and 0.8 cm wide. The content records the expenses for entertaining military officers passing by Xuanquan when Chang Luo Hou Chang Hui was sent to Wusun in the fifth year of Yuankang (61 BC). The unearthing of this book not only provides first-hand information for studying the functions and financial income and expenditure of Xuanquan, but more importantly, it provides important data for studying the relationship between the Western Han Dynasty and the Western Regions, especially with Wusun, supplementing the gaps in historical records. It is equivalent to our current bills.
