Tsinghua Bamboo Slips has been published five batches since 2010,of which are five articles about famous minister in the early years of the Shang dynasty——“Yiyin(伊尹)”:Yinzhi(《尹至》)、Yingao(《尹诰》)(Tsinghua Bamboo Slips for the first batch),Red bird landed on the roof of the emperor Tang(《赤鸠之集汤之屋》)(Tsinghua Bamboo Slips for the third batch))、Tang lived in Tangqiu(《汤处於汤丘》)、Tang in the place of Chimen(《汤在啻门》)(Tsinghua Bamboo Slips for the fifth batch).The content and article type of the five articles are different:The words of Yinzhi(《尹至》)、Yingao(《尹诰》)are archaic and abstruse,belonging to the same type of Shangshu(《尚书》);Red bird(《赤鸠之集汤之屋》)is funny,belonging to the typical type of novel;Tangqiu(《汤处於汤丘》)、Chimen(《汤在啻门》)have a strong meaning of taoism,maybe belonging to“Yiyin Shuo(伊尹说)”.According to the analysis of chirography、the appearance of bamboo slips、the depicting line of bamboo slips on the back,Red bird(《赤鸠之集汤之屋》)should be in front of Yinzhi(《尹至》)、Yingao(《尹诰》).These three articles should be in the same tome.Chimen(《汤在啻门》)should be in front of Tangqiu(《汤处於汤丘》).In this paper,we centered on elucidation of ancient character and the main task as below:1.Collecting information.
