Rearranging the Slip Sequence in the Wang Ji Manuscript in the Peking University Han Bamboo-Slip Collection

Abstract

This paper attempts to rearrange the slip sequence in the Wang Ji 妄稽 manuscript, and makes the following suggestions: slips 75–76 should be placed immediately after slips 47, 48, and 49; slips 77–81 should be placed between slips 75–76 and slips 43–46; since the meaning of the text on slip 46 and that on slip 62 are coherent, slips 46 and 62 can be placed back-to-back.
