Ancient bamboo and wooden slips are slender, rectangular pieces on which ancient Chinese recorded information using brush and ink. Before the invention of paper, bamboo and wooden slips were the primary writing medium in China.

Unearthed in various parts of China, they offer a rare glimpse into the nation's administrative, legal and social structures of the time.
