2. Qin Dynasty bamboo slips from Hubei Provincial Museum

The 1,155 Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC) bamboo slips unearthed at Shuihudi Qin tomb in Yunmeng county of Central China's Hubei province include over 40,000 characters written in clerical script, making these the most comprehensive legal documents from the Qin Dynasty, with the largest quantity discovered so far. The pieces offer the world another perspective about the first unification of the Chinese nation.

These bamboo slips were copied by a grass-roots official named Xi (Joy) from the Qin Dynasty, who was buried with these copies after death. On the show, Sa Beining, a TV anchorman famous for his program about the law, plays Xi in the drama, adding a lot of fun to the show.
