Centuries

The records of laws and acts of the Chin dynasty and of earlier periods had been lost for centuries.

Amone the new finds are acts on farmland, currency, appointment of officials, self-exiled Chin subjects and dismissal of officials.

The new find provides key research material into the historical experience of the rising landlord class in exercising dictatorship over the slave-owning class after winning political power, and the history of the struggle between the Confusion and the Legalist schools and class struggle as a whole.
