Bamboo Chronicles - Chikushokinen

Japanese: 竹書紀年 - ちくしょきねん
Bamboo Chronicles - Chikushokinen

A book from the Wei dynasty during the Warring States period in China. It consists of 14 volumes. It is one of the bamboo slips that were obtained by Bu Jun of Jiu Commandery (Henan Province) of Jin in 279 (Xianning 5, also called 280 (Taikang 1) or 281) when he robbed the ancient tomb of King Xiang (also called King Anli) of Wei. Shu Xi, Xun Xu, He Qiao, Fu Zan and others, who were ordered by Emperor Wu of Jin to organize and study the book, recorded it as 14 volumes in the Annals. The contents of the book are roughly the same as those in other historical records, covering events from the Xia Dynasty to the 20th year of the reign of King Anli of Wei (258 B.C.). The two volumes of the Bamboo Annals that are known today begin with Emperor Huangdi and have been expanded and revised by later generations, so the original form of the book has been lost.

Japanese:

中国、戦国時代の魏(ぎ)の書。14篇(へん)。晋(しん)の汲(きゅう)郡(河南省)の人不準(ふじゅん)が279年(咸寧(かんねい)5。また280年〈太康1〉、281年ともいう)に、魏(ぎ)の襄(じょう)王(また安釐(あんり)王ともいう)の古墓を盗掘して得た竹簡(ちっかん)の古書のうちの一つ。晋の武帝に命ぜられて整理研究にあたった束晳(そくせき)、荀勗(じゅんきょく)、和嶠(わきょう)、傅瓚(ふさん)らによって『紀年』14篇と記録されている。内容は、夏(か)から魏の安釐王の20年(前258)に至るまでの事跡を記してあり、他の史書の記載と大略同じであったという。現在伝えられる『竹書紀年』2巻は、黄帝から始まっており、後人によって増改されたもので、出土当時の姿は失われている。
