子弹库帛书1942年出土于长沙子弹库楚墓，是目前出土的唯一战国帛书，也是迄今发现的中国最早的帛书和首个典籍意义上的古书，对于中国古文字、古文献研究以及学术史、思想史研究具有不可替代的重要价值。被盗掘出土后几经辗转，于1946年非法流失美国。

The silk manuscripts were unearthed in 1942 from the Zidanku site in Changsha, Hunan province, and were illegally taken to the United States in 1946. The silk manuscripts are currently the only known silk manuscripts from the Warring States period (475-221 BC).

As the only known silk manuscripts from the Warring States period unearthed in China, the Zidanku Silk Manuscripts -- over 2,000 years old -- are the earliest silk text discovered to date, representing the earliest known example of a classical Chinese book in the true sense. It is of foundational significance for the study of ancient Chinese script and literature, as well as for the history of Chinese scholarship and thought.
