Warring States Project / News 2013

The big news of the Project is its daily progress in clarifying the nature, mutual relations, and dates of the Warring States and other early texts. Such gradual progress is not the kind of event one can plan to attend. Its many little moments of intellectual breakthrough are also not exactly what one puts in the newspaper. They are not listed on this page either.

General news items this year:

• The Project's journal, Warring States Papers, appeared in May 2012 (Next volume expected in summer 2013)
• Chekiang University Warring States Bamboo Texts are Fraudulent
• A Wang Syi-jr calligraphy fragment, part of a previously known letter, has been identified in Japan.
