Abstract: The discovery of the "Gui Zang" section of the Qin bamboo slips from the Wang Jiatai collection hasprovided crucial materials for clarifying the history of "Gui Zang" and the early history of the I Ching. Althoughprevious studies have made significant progress in the interpretation of the text, the deternination of its nature, thedating of its composition, the tracing of its transmission history, and its relationship with the early history of I theChing, they have laid a solid foundation for further research, yet in general, some core controversial points have notreached consensus, such as the classification of the Qin bamboo slips "Gui Zang" and the determination of itscomposition date. Overall, current research is still at a relatively basic stage, and in-depth comprehensive and refinedexploration of the "Gui Zang" and its analysis of its content and meaning, as well as the construction of the early IChing lineage and the promotion of research paradigm innovation from a cross-disciplinary perspective, are newtrends in the research on "Gui Zang" and I Ching.
