Law, Administration, and Social system in Eastern Han China: Bamboo slips from Wuyi Square, Changsha

The documents from Changsha Wuyi Square have important value in re-creating the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Under the leadership of Professor Lai Ming-chiu, the Department of History of the Chinese University of Hong Kong established the "Changsha Wuyi Square Eastern Han Document Reading Class", with fixed members mainly consisting of teachers and students from the Department. During his visit to Hong Kong, Professor Xing Yitian, an academician of the Academia Sinica in Taiwan, visited the reading class several times for exchanges of ideas. The research results of some of the graduate students in the reading class were announced at the "Changsha Wuyi Square Eastern Han Document Research Workshop" held by the Joint Research Fund of the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Shanghai Jiaotong University on April 27, 2018, and were commented on by Professors Xing Yitian, Lai Ming-chiu, and Zhang Chaoyang. The ten papers collected in this book are mainly the results of the above-mentioned reading class and workshop.
