1975年,湖北省云梦县。睡虎地秦代墓葬中出土了一套竹简,共1155枚,密密麻麻地写满了“为吏之道”,都是一位名叫“喜”的秦国基层官吏在日常工作中抄录的。这些竹简长约27厘米,宽0.6厘米,厚度仅1毫米。云梦睡虎地秦简,四万多个工整的秦隶汉字,从战国七雄到秦国一统的那个历史瞬间,就被一位普通的小官吏,用最直观的方式保存下来了。云梦睡虎地秦简的出土,再次证明了中华民族曾经以优越的法文化,长期滋润过东方世界。这些写于战国晚期及秦始皇时期的竹简,不仅反映了篆书向隶书的转变,更是中国法律史上具有奠基意义的著作,为研究中国书法和秦国政治、法律、经济、文化、医学等等方面的发展历史,都提供了丰富而翔实的参考依据。
