Yinqueshan Han Bamboo Slips Museum
银雀山汉墓竹简博物馆
A museum built on the site of a Han tomb, where bamboo slips of *The Art of War* and *Sun Bin's Military Methods* were unearthed in 1972. The tomb pit is displayed in its original state.
The Yinqueshan Han Tomb lies in the southern part of Linyi city. In 1972, nearly 5,000 bamboo slips were excavated from two Western Han tombs, including *The Art of War* and *Sun Bin's Military Methods*, a text lost for nearly two thousand years, which caused a sensation in academic circles. The museum was built on the original site and shows the tomb pit as it was, along with replicas of the bamboo slips and displays on military culture. Entry is free, but you must show your ID card to enter. It is usually closed on Mondays. A visit takes about 1 hour, and you can combine it with a walk to the East China Revolutionary Martyrs Cemetery.
