At 3:55 am on May 18, the earliest silk book in China, the Bullet Library Silk Book, which has been discovered so far, ended its 79-year wandering in the United States, arrived at the Beijing Capital International Airport, and finally returned to the motherland!
The Bullet Library Silk Book was unearthed in 1942 in the Chu Tomb of the Changsha Bullet Library and was lost to the United States in 1946. It is currently the only Warring States silk book unearthed and the first ancient book in the sense of classics discovered in China.
