In 1996 archaeologists excavated over 70,000 inscribed pieces of
wood from a well in Changsha, the largest such discovery ever made
in China. They are local administrative records of the state of Wu
in the 230s and provide remarkable detail on the society,
governance, and economy of third century central China. Although Wu
was one of the famous Three Kingdoms, its administrative history
was poorly known until these documents were found, so we have
written this book to explain the context and content of these
document to help researchers use these valuable texts to rewrite
the history of South China.
