Researches of Square Wooden Slips No.8 to 455 in Liye Qin Jian-A Comparative Study of the Slip-borne——Qin& Han Codes and the Rites of Zhou Dynasty(Ⅶ)

里耶秦简8——455号木方,属于官员个人抄录的有关秦统一之际有关文书用语的汇集。文书抄录是当时国家信息传播的重要方式之一,其中有官方行为,也有私人行为。正因为文书抄录过程中容易出现文字的讹误或脱漏,所以战国时期国家制定了政令法规文件的定期核对制度,以保证政令信息的准确和畅通。官方文书抄录制度对当时的社会文化传播产生了深远影响,许多官吏出于实用或爱好,纷纷抄录和保存了大量的政治经济法律方面的文书档案。这正是考古发掘在墓葬中得以发现大量简牍资料的重要原因之一。

In Liye Qin Jian（Inscribed Slips of Qin Dynasty found in Liye town） the square wooden slips No.8 to 455 are collection of officers＇ private transcriptions of documentation glossary inscribed at time around Qin Dynasty＇s unification.Transcribing documents,officially or privately,was an important way for then states to spread information.As wording mistakes and negligence tended to occur in the transcribing process,kingdoms in the Warring States Period established a regular-check system for accurate and swift communication of politic decrees.The official transcription system put heavy influences on the socio-culture communication at that time;so,many officers,for practical or hobby purpose,transcribed and kept numerous documents on politics,economy and laws.This is one of the key reasons why mass quantity of slips can be found in ancient tombs through archaeological excavation.
