The project consists mainly of Zhang Guangyu's book "Guodian Chu jian yanjiu" (Taipei : Yiwen yinshuguan, 1999-), which has been made available as searchable database on the Web. [...] The Chu Bamboo Strips from Guodian were excavated in 1993 at Guodian (Jingmen district, Hubei province), numbering 703 strips with 12072 characters. The strips date back to the late Warring States period and contain 16 Taoist and Confucian texts."
