EspañolBAMBOO ANNALS
The '''Bamboo Annals''' (Chinese character: 竹書紀年; Pinyin: ''Zhúshū Jìnián'') is a chronicle of ancient China. It begins at the earliest legendary times (Huangdi) and extends to the Warring States Period, particularly the history of the Wei State. It has 13 sections.
The original text was interred with the burial of the king of Wei (died 299 BC) and re-discovered in AD 281. For this reason, the chronicle survived the great burning of the books by Emperor Shi Huangdi.
The ''Bamboo Annals'' is one of the two most important ancient texts on early China, the other being the Shiji. However, the authenticity of the current version has been in question, so that some (including Qing scholars, Karlgren) would not translate it.
