An article named "Wu Xing" was found from a bundle of bamboo slips in the Guo Dian No.l tomb in Oct. 1993. The article on this bamboo slip is almost the same as part of the former one on the silk found in the Ma Wang Dui No.3 tomb in 1973, except that several sentences and paragraphs are not in the same order and the number of the sentences and some characters used are differentThese two articles are both unearthed literature.
