Ancient Chinese Thought and Cultural Research

• Pre-Qin Thought
• Scholars
• Confucianists
• Bamboo and Silk Manuscripts

I am doing research on the thought and culture from the Warring States period to the Qin and Han periods, with a focus on the Hundred Schools of Thought. Making use of recently unearthed textual documents, including the silk manuscripts unearthed at Ma-wang-ti and the Guodian Chu slips, I am working to revise our understanding of thought during these periods.
