Among the Zidanku Silk Manuscripts recently returned from the United States, the third volume, "Gongshou Zhan," reveals an intriguing pattern: some characters face different directions.
Research indicates that this is due to a unique clockwise circular writing technique used by its scribe. Fragments from the same volume confirm this pattern.
Scholars suggest that the clockwise rotation may have been intended to imitate the movement of the cosmos, representing a visual expression of Warring States-period's cosmology from over 2,200 years ago.
