The content of Warring States, Qin and Han bamboo slips text is huge and of great importance, but there is no handy reference books as index and dictionary yet, so it’s very inconvenient for searching. The corpus construction, which is starting up recently domestically and overseas, has great development space in both content-processing and function-developing. Based on the officially published bamboo slips of Chu in Warring States, Qin and Han dynasty, we’re now working on the Warring States, Qin and Han Bamboo Slips Text Corpus, with different levels of Raw Corpus, Highly-revised Corpus and Highly-processed Corpus. The corpus has multiple archaeology and character explaining properties, focused on both popularization and researching, and highly connected among all levels.
