This scholarly work takes us through the restoration of ancient works with chapters on records on bones and shells, metals and clay, stone and jade, before the evolution to bamboo, wood and then silk as precursors to quasi-paper and paper manuscripts. The book title refers to an old Chinese expression for all books, documents, or other written records produced in ancient times—really from antiquity to about the sixth century AD when bamboo and silk were the major writing materials in China.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Love Vintage Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51517466968360,"sku":"50961","price":32.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lovevintagebooks.com.au\/products\/wroitten-on-bamboo-and-silk","provider":"Love Vintage Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
