520 $a Since the 1930's, tablets of jade and stone bearing ink inscriptions have come to light in several different locations in Shanxi and Henan Provinces in North China. Scholars identity these tablets as records of rituals of covenant and curse dating to the Eastern Zhou period.
520 $a Chapter 1 describes the broad geographical context of the new finds: the plateaux and river basins of Shanxi and Kenan, defined as the heartland of the Jin culture area. Chapter 2 describes the discovery and fate of the covenant tablets found in this region. Chapter 3 summarizes the information on covenant and curse available in the Chinese ritual classics: the Zhouli, the Liji and the Yili.
520 $a Chapter 4 describes the proliferation of fortified towns and cities in the state of Jin, particularly in the Fen, Kuai and Qin river valleys, during the Eastern Zhou period. Information about the archaeological sites is accompanied, where possible, with stories from the Zuozhuan about the historical towns which the sites may represent, focussing particularly on Jin's tenure as hegemon. One large group of covenant inscriptions was discovered in the Kuai valley at Houma, on the perimeter of the site of the ancient city of Xintian, capital of Jin from 585 B.C. to 393 B.C. The other large group was found on the perimeter of a smaller urban site in Wenxian, in the Qin valley, about two hundred kilometers across the Zhongtiao mountains from Houma. The excavators of the Wenxian texts identify the walled site as the town of Zhou. The vicissitudes in the ownership of this one town, by the royal house of Zhou, the princely houses of Jin and Zheng, the Jin noble houses of Xi, Luan and Han, and all three of Jin's successor states of Han, Wei and Zhao exemplify the pivotal role of the region in contemporary power politics.
520 $a Chapter 5 will focus on the two largest groups of texts themselves, first summarizing early studies and then exploring the organization of the texts by pit, their numerous graphic variants and writing styles, and the light they shed on contemporary naming conventions. Finally, Chapter 5 will discuss the categorization of the texts according to formula and offer a translation and analysis of the major formulae.
