Among the material materials, the unearthed documents are the most important. He took part in the arrangement of silk books in Mawangdui.

Background notes

Mr. Ma Yong is a famous historian in contemporary China. It's a pity that there are few works left, which are far from enough to show his talent, knowledge and insight. What's more, it's a pity that even these few works can't be published for readers. Before he died, Mr. Ma Yong asked me to sort out and publish his posthumous works. Limited by the conditions at that time, I could only compile his most important thesis as a book named "a collection of historical, geographical and cultural relics of the western regions"
