| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study is the establishment of the method of research about the Chinese excavated written materials, i.e. oracle bones, wooden strips, bronze inscriptions, stone inscriptions, Dunhuang-Turfan documents and so on. Most of these materials were discovered in this century, and therefore how to study about them were not yet established sufficiently. The main results in two years are as follows.
1 Because a good many bronze inscriptions of ceming remains, most of scholars utilized them as the important sources about political and institutional studies on the Western Zhou, but attended only to the descriptions of them. By analyzing them as ancient document and classifying them from documental style, we clarified their characters and historical values.
2 We tried to compile many fragments of the Dunhuang-juyan documents. Especially as for wooden strips, we made the database of about twenty thousand strips on the Han period.
3 As for the Dunhuang documents belonged to the Tibetan period, it is very difficult to identify chronologically. But we made it able through analyzing personal names seen in them.
