Preparation Steps
The 'Daybook' (Rishu) scroll originally formed one scroll of nearly five hundred slips. It was bound using a technique where the arrow-shaped traces point to the left (<), suggesting it was bound from the end towards the beginning (left to right) (p. 59).
Original Recipe Text
The 'Daybook' (Rishu) scroll originally formed one scroll of nearly five hundred slips. It was bound using a technique where the arrow-shaped traces point to the left (<), suggesting it was bound from the end towards the beginning (left to right) (p. 59).
Evidence
"Fig. 9: Part of a reconstructed bamboo scroll with hemerological contents, mid-second century BCE, excavated from Kongjiapo tomb no. 8. Wuhan, Hubei Provincial Museum, Hubei Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, MS Rishu 日書 (‘Daybook’), slips 205–217, right to left."
Remarks
This scroll exhibits arrow-shaped binding traces that point right on slips 141–150 and 351–360, but left on slips 171–180 and 205–217. These differently oriented traces might reflect distinct binding processes or a composite scroll put together from formerly independent units (p. 59).
