The amended collection makes up about 1,000 pieces of revisions and complements. In addition, other major amendments include the rewriting of several classics, picture publication of the newly uncovered raw silk pieces, modification of over 60 silk pieces in the previous version, about 230 new bindings of silk pieces and color tuning of silk pieces to better display the texts and patterns.

"As Professor Qiu said, the research on Mawangdui sees no end — not only in the ancient writing field but also in diverse sectors such as artifacts, textiles, chemicals and technology. It is a long-term and sustainable subject," says Liu. "We believe the research on Mawangdui will flourish in the upcoming years and the Mawangdui Han Tomb culture will play a bigger role in showcasing traditional Chinese culture and telling China's story."
