Zoumalou, Archaeological site with bamboo slips in Changsha, China.
Located at the intersection of Huangxing and Wuyi Road, Zoumalou contains a vast collection of ancient Chinese administrative documents carved on bamboo slips.
The 1996 excavation uncovered more than 140,000 bamboo and wooden slips dating from the Eastern Wu period of the Three Kingdoms between 220 and 280 AD.
These bamboo slips document the governmental practices, legal proceedings, and administrative systems of ancient Chinese society during the Three Kingdoms period.
Visitors can examine the bamboo slip collection at the Changsha Jiandu Museum, which opened in 2002 to preserve and display these archaeological findings.
The quantity of bamboo slips discovered at Zoumalou exceeded all previous similar findings in China, making it the largest collection of ancient written records.
