The Anhui University Bamboo Strips 安徽大學竹簡 (also known as 安大簡) is a corpus of manuscripts purchased by the Anhui University in 2015, and currently under publication. Since the corpus results from illegal excavations, specifics about its recovery are lost. Through radiocarbon dating analysis conducted at Peking University, the material has been dated to the Warring States period.[1] It is yet another discovery that enriches scholarly understanding of this ancient era, alongside other recoveries, such as the Guodian collection, the Shanghai Museum Collection, and the Tsinghua corpus.
According to preliminary publications, the corpus includes 1167 strips, in fairly good conditions, with length ranging from 21.3 to 48.5 cm. The editors in charge of curating and publishing the collection divided the material into four groups.
The remaining material cover topics of oneiromancy and physiognomy.[1]
