Tsinghua Bamboo Slips

Okay, so a long, long, long time ago, in China, people wrote on these things called bamboo slips. They were long and thin, like sticks, and people would write words on them with a brush.

Fast forward to now, and some people found these old bamboo slips from a place called Tsinghua. They were really old, like thousands of years old! And on the bamboo slips were writings about things that happened a long, long time ago.

People who study history got really excited about the Tsinghua bamboo slips because they could learn more about how people lived and what they thought back then. Plus, it's really cool to find something so old that still has writing on it!
