This article, starting with the modal particle wunai 毋乃, analyzes the tone of a dialogue between Confucius and Zigong in the *Lubang da han 魯邦大旱 manuscript. It points out that the attitude to a certain viewpoint is often contained in the tone of the speaker, and improper understanding of this information may lead to misreading a person’s point of view and their relationship with others.

Adam Craig Schwartz (施沃慈)
The present study offers a new reading of the Wangjiatai Gui cang’s pure yin hexagram text. I make a comprehensive analysis of the composition and layered texture of the text, by employing a methodology to engage with its images and narratives at an emic level. I determine that there is an iconographic resemblance between the hexagram picture and the graph writing its name, identify an image program centered on being “alone”, “inhumanity”, and “water”, and provide a context for the independent but interlocking narratives of Xia king Qi and Gong gong. Taken together, evidence points to Gua 寡 “Alone” as the candidate with the lowest odds among various proposals for the hexagram’s name. The overall meaning of “Alone” is that being bad, self-serving, and immoral will lead to one being divested of spiritual blessings and support of the people. The image of water in the two narratives is a metaphor for wantonness that also functions as a conduit for its disposal.

Through an examination of documents from the Qin county of Qianling excavated from Well no. 1, Liye, Hunan Province, and looted documents held by the Yuelu Academy, Hunan University, that were rescued from the Hong Kong antiques market, this paper discusses the ways in which the victorious Qin state treated the enemy that they had defeated in the wars of unification leading to the establishment of the Qin Empire. It also considers how the Qin treated those who resisted the imposition of their rule. It is determined that the Qin categorized these people into three types or groups and applied Qin law to them. It also discusses the establishment of a bureaucratic system through which the Qin tracked down fugitive enemies.

Fuminori Tsuchiguchi (土口史記)
Liye J1 is an archaeological site where the official documents belonging to the county court of Qianling County (遷陵縣) were discarded during the Qin dynasty. Among those unearthed slip manuscripts, some are called “Other Post Slips” 異處簡 These were meant to be delivered to other offices rather than the county court. This article discusses the possible significance revealed by their variety in quantity, and to point out that the frequency of the appearance of “Other Post Slips” reflects the relative distance between the county court and affiliated offices. At the same time, this work provides support to restore the spatial layout of these offices within the county.

After having conquered the Liye region and establishing Qianling prefecture, the Qin army departed from this newly occupied territory stepwise. According to the withdrawal, the ruling system was also gradually adjusted. In this article, the author analyzes the Liye Qin strips chronologically, and examines the process through which military victories resulted in rule by the occupying forces.

Zhenhong Yang (楊振紅)
Slips 001-008 in The Qin Bamboo Slips in the Collection of Yuelu Academy (Vol. 5) contain a legal statute issued on the wuyin day of the twelfth month of the twenty-sixth year of the First Emperor of Qin. It is related to re-establishing a family by means of a woman’s remarriage. The content includes the following: it was forbidden to call the husband in a remarriage as jiafu “substitute father.” It was forbidden for children to call each other as brothers and sisters if they were not fathered by the same man. A widow with children was not allowed to transfer the property of her deceased husband to her maternal family or to the family she remarried into. It was forbidden to force a widow to remarry. The issuance of the wuyin statute was directly associated with the scandal of Lao’ai 嫪毐. Lao’ai had had an affair with the mother of the First Emperor of Qin, fathering two sons with her, and claiming himself as the substitute father of the First Emperor. The Stele of Mount Tai and the Stele of Mount Kuaiji praised the First Emperor for “defending and demarcating the boundary of the inner and the outer, forbidding licentious behavior, so that both men and women are pure and honest” 防隔内外，禁止淫泆，男女絜誠. The First Emperor also named the widow Qing 清 of the Ba 巴 region as a chaste woman and built the Terrace of the Woman Huai Qing 女懷清臺. Those events serve to confirm the relevance between the wuyin statute and the scandal of Lao’ai. Because the term “substitute father” had a notorious reputation, the Han people replaced it with “stepfather” (jifu 繼父) when calling the husband of a remarried mother.

Guodong Fan (凡國棟), Yunbing Luo (羅運兵)
The Sui 歲 chapter of the Zhoujiazhai 周家寨 Daybook (rishu 日書) is a type of divination text with a focus on “timing,” including the formation of heaven and earth, five elements 五行, five colors 五色, five sounds 五音, and their relationships. It develops the concepts of “five periods” 五時, “four seasons” 四時 and “the engagement (and disengagement) of four seasons” 四時結（解）, and tells of the seasonal ordinances and climate of the twelve months in sequence. This kind of literature first appeared in the Daybook from Kongjiapo 孔家坡, but the text was incomplete. The Sui chapter in the Daybook from Zhoujiazhai introduced in this paper was excavated from a site adjacent to the Kongjiapo tomb, and the two daybooks are akin in terms of dating and content. Through comparison and collation, this paper proposes a translation and annotation superior to that of the published brief report, and presents a preliminary study on some problems related to the text. The paper demonstrates that there was a rule of collocation among the twelve branches in the second part of the chapter. The paper further suggests that texts like Sui ought to be classified as “theories of day selection,” and that a daybook should be classified as a combination of the techniques and the theories of day selection.

This manuscript is also not a story fabricated by people in the Warring States period. It is possible that what is presented in this manuscript was a legend passed from generation to generation within Yi Yin’s lineage. Unlike Yin zhi and Yin gao, this manuscript does not belong to the Shangshu category.
