Chronology of Bamboo Slips is a chronological history book written by historians of Jin and Warring States in the Spring and Autumn Period, also known as Chronology of Jizhong, which was discovered in Xianning, Western Jin Dynasty, in 279 AD. At that time, he was buried in the tomb of King Wei An (said to be Wei Xiangwang). Chronicle of Bamboo Books records important historical events from Xia Dynasty to Wang Dynasty, which is of great historical value to the study of pre-Qin history. The chronology of bamboo slips is similar to the ancient books published in Mawangdui Tomb in Changsha in recent years, and many records of the chronology of bamboo slips are similar to those of Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Jinwen, Qin bamboo slips and Nian, which shows its historical value. Li Xueqin, a famous scholar, said: "The chronology of bamboo slips has its special significance in studying the chronology of Xia Dynasty, because it is the earliest known chronology system." The chronicle of bamboo slips shocked historians because the historical materials it recorded were not only different in content, but also different in value orientation from those described in Historical Records. The chronology of bamboo slips describes bloody coups and military conflicts from Xia Dynasty to Warring States Period. According to Historical Records, after Tai Jia was imprisoned by Yi Yin for three years in Shang Dynasty, Yi Yin saw Tai Jia turn over a new leaf and solemnly handed over the country to him. After the restoration of Taijia, he learned from a bitter experience and became a diligent and loving saint. However, the Chronicle of Bamboo Records has a different description of this: after Yi Yin exiled Tai Jia, he became king on his own. Seven years later, Tai Jia sneaked back to kill the usurper Yi Yin, leaving Yi Yin's sons Yi and Yi Fen to inherit the Yi family [1]. Du Yu said: "This is the story of Dajia and Shangshu, but I don't know what happened in the old man's life, or it caused me to forget. This ancient book was also recorded at that time, which is not enough for trial. "

The chronology of bamboo books was lost as early as the Han Dynasty. In 279 of the Western Jin Dynasty, the tomb of Wang Wei in present-day Henan Province was stolen and dug. While the grave robbers were arrested, a large number of bamboo slips were unearthed from the tomb. At that time, the state attached great importance to this matter, and Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty appointed Xun Xu, Zhong Shuling and He Yi, the supervisor of the Chinese Library, to be responsible for the translation of bamboo slips (because Wei Shu was quite different from Qin Shu) [1]. The length of bamboo slips is two feet and four inches, each with 40 characters. From the Yellow Emperor [4], Zhou Pingwang moved eastward and used the calendar of Jin State. During this period, many political disturbances occurred, such as the Eight Kings Rebellion, in which Minister Heng was killed during the examination, which greatly hit the progress of sorting out, and Wei Heng's friends continued [1]. Finally, the official in charge sorted out the part of the history book and named it Bamboo Chronicle. Chronology of Bamboo Books records many things about Jin and Wei, which is generally regarded as the history book of Wei [1].
