子弹库帛书1942年出土于长沙子弹库楚墓,是目前出土的唯一战国帛书,也是迄今发现的中国最早的帛书和首个典籍意义上的古书,对于中国古文字、古文献研究以及学术史、思想史研究具有不可替代的重要价值。被盗掘出土后几经辗转,于1946年非法流失美国。
The silk manuscripts were unearthed in 1942 from the Zidanku site in Changsha, Hunan province, and were illegally taken to the United States in 1946. The silk manuscripts are currently the only known silk manuscripts from the Warring States period (475-221 BC).
As the only known silk manuscripts from the Warring States period unearthed in China, the Zidanku Silk Manuscripts -- over 2,000 years old -- are the earliest silk text discovered to date, representing the earliest known example of a classical Chinese book in the true sense. It is of foundational significance for the study of ancient Chinese script and literature, as well as for the history of Chinese scholarship and thought.

子弹库帛书分三卷,此次回归的《五行令》和《攻守占》为子弹库帛书第二卷、第三卷。
The Zidanku Silk Manuscripts are divided into three volumes. The returning texts, Wuxing Ling and Gongshou Zhan, are the second and third volumes, respectively.
子弹库帛书《五行令》《攻守占》回归祖国,成为主动追索历史上流失重点文物并取得成功的典型案例,也是秉持《青岛建议书》对话与合作的核心精神,以溯源及流转历史研究成果为支撑,实现流失海外中国文物追索成功的生动实践。
The return of Wuxing Ling and Gongshou Zhan marks a successful case of proactive recovery of significant lost cultural artifacts. It also serves as a model for the application of the core spirit of dialogue and cooperation outlined in the Qingdao Recommendations, showcasing how research into provenance and transfer history can support the successful repatriation of Chinese cultural artifacts lost overseas.
《五行令》《攻守占》将于2025年7月在中国国家博物馆举办的“万里同归——新时代文物追索返还成果展”上首次面向公众展出。
These manuscripts will be publicly displayed for the first time in July 2025 at the National Museum of China as part of an exhibition on the repatriation of cultural relics.
