A Survey On The Account Vocabulary In Changsha Zoumalou's Bamboo Slips Buried In The Wu Kingdom Of Sanguo Dynasty

The research in this thesis is a creative one. For various reasons, the former researchers haven't conducted any systematic survey on the vocabulary in Wujian up to now. Only some words are examined for the purpose of illustrating history and culture not to explain the characteristics and regulations of the vocabulary themselves.
