The Yinqueshan Han tombs are an important archaeological landmark in Linyi, Shandong. Excavations of Tombs No. 1 and No. 2 in 1972 uncovered a major collection of bamboo slips, including texts of Sun Tzu’s Art of War and the long-lost Art of War attributed to Sun Bin. The discovery helped clarify historical questions surrounding the two military thinkers and their works. In 2021, the Yinqueshan Han tombs were selected among China’s “100 Archaeological Discoveries of the Century.” The site and Yinqueshan Han Tomb Bamboo Slips Museum offer overseas visitors and wood-product buyers travelling to Linyi a useful introduction to the city’s cultural heritage. Opening hours, exhibitions and visitor arrangements should be confirmed with the museum before a trip.
