Collection of Un-Encoded Chinese Characters from Tsinghua Bamboo Slips

Collection of Un-encoded Chinese Characters from Tsinghua Bamboo Slips

Snow Listener

June 13, 2020

This document is intended for experts to further work on, so as to generate a formal proposal to add these un-encoded Chinese characters.

In 2008, an alumnus, Zhao Weiguo (趙偉國), donated to Tsinghua University a collection of over 2300 bamboo slips, on which are ancient writings of Chu characters (楚國文字). These bamboo slips are commonly known as the Tsinghua bamboo slips. In December 2018, radiocarbon dating test done by Peking University showed that bamboo slips date back to 305±30 BC, i.e., the middle or late period of the Warring States era. Due to the immense historic, cultural, and literature value of the slips, Tsinghua established the Center of Research and Protection of Unearthed Documents (清华大学出土文献研究与保护中心), led by professor of history, Li Xueqin (李學勤).

The reading, transcribing and annotating of the writings on Tsinghua bamboo slips started in March 2009. From 2011, Li Xueqin started to publish the book series Warring States-era Bamboo Slips in Tsinghua University (清華大學藏戰國竹簡) [THBS]. As of June 2020, nine volumes have been published. Each volume consists of four main parts: 1. scans of the slips; 2 enlarged scans of the slips accompanied by transcription text; 3. transcription texts as running texts, with detailed annotation; 4. table of characters.

In the book, Li Xueqin used the strict liding (嚴式隸定) method to transcribe the Chu characters, which converts the components of a Chu character into kai script (楷書), but keeps the relative structure of the components unchanged. Thus the converted characters are in a more “readable” form. However, since ancient Chinese characters underwent some wild ramifications during the Warring States period, many of the transcribed characters are not found in the kai script used in later times. The transcription characters preserve key characteristics of the original Chu character, differing only in writing style. They are indispensable in academic use and communications. Unicode accepts, and has included many such transcription characters from bronze inscriptions (金文).

In this document we collect 916 transcription characters from [THBS], volumes 1-8. None of these characters are currently encoded (appearing in URO and CJK Ext A-G as 1

of Unicode 13.0), nor do they appear in IRG Working Set 2017 (what is to become CJK Ext H). So they are qualified as candidates for future inclusion.

Currently, I do not have a scanned copy of volume 9 (which was published in Dec. 2019), so I cannot provide un-encoded characters from the latest volume.

This document set contains two separate documents. The first (i.e., this document) is mainly lists of un-encoded characters; the second is the evidence.

In the first document, I will list un-encoded characters by writings in the books. A character might appear in multiple writings, but will only be listed once. For each character, we have an index, the glyph, the slip number, and the necessary notes (empty if none). The location of a character is indicated by the slip it appears on. For example, the first character in our list is

, which appears in volume 1, writing 1, and the slip number is 一 (one). So it is on the first slip of the writing. Note that in the book the slip number is written at the end of each slip.

Since I lack the expertise and time to create a dedicated font, the glyphs of the un- encoded characters used in this document are screenshots from the book scans. The structure of most glyphs are self-evident. I will indicate the ideographic description sequence (IDS) for a character only if its structure is not clear on the first look.

The second document is the evidence. I will provide pages from [THBS], with each character in our list boxed in red. The volume and writing to which each page belongs is indicated at the top of that page. The pages are high-res scans and the reader can enlarge them to inspect the characters.

This document is the first part. From the next page on, we provide the list of un-encoded characters.

Warring States-era Bamboo Slips in Tsinghua University, Vol. 2

清華大學藏戰國竹簡（貳）

Volume 2 was published in December 2019, and it contains 1 writing: 繫年 Xinian, a previously unknown historical text.

In 2016, Olivia Milburn published an article The Xinian: an Ancient Historical Text From the Qinghua University Collection of Bamboo Books [XN] on Early China, Cambridge University Press, which incorporated the entire transcribed text of 繫年. In 2017, the UK submitted a collection of un-encoded characters (IRGN2232) into the IRG Working Set 2017 (CJK Extension H), including 123 characters from [XN]. Therefore, most un-encoded characters in Volume 2 shall appear in Ext H. However, there are indeed few un-encoded characters missing from IRGN2232. We shall cover these characters here.

02-01-01 三一 A slightly weird transcription of the Chu character . The character appears in [XN] as an unclear picture (which may be the reason why the UK did not include it in IRGN2232). But in the book, it is printed with a clear font.

Therefore it is not suitable to locate a character simply by the slip number.
