Based on the original text made by the researcher and research results of other scholars,the author reinterprets the Tsinghua bamboo slips BaoXun(《保训》).In terms of research methods,compares the documents such as ZhouYi(《周易》),ShangShu(《尚书》)and YiZhouShu(《逸周书》)with BaoXun(《保训》)according to the"dual attestation",and cites the newly unearthed documents such as Mawangdui silk book LaoZi(《老子》)and Tsinghua bamboo slips WuJi(《五纪》)to confirm with BaoXun(《保训》),in order to explore the true meaning of BaoXun(《保训》)from the angle of thought and historical facts,and take it as the basis of text interpretation.It is believed that BaoXun(《保训》)is Zhou Wenwang's testament,In his last teachings,Zhou Wenwang recalled Huang Di's idea of"sincerity",Shun's idea of"kindness",Wei's idea of"rationality"and Tang's idea of"bravery",and passed on the idea of"faithfulness,fairness,conscientiousness and persistence"to Zhou Wuwang,urging Zhou Wuwang to be"reverent","diligent"and"virtuous".BaoXun(《保训》)is of great documentary value to the study of China's ancient history,especially the history of thought.
