An Investigation of the Turfan Documents and the related Materials

在1959年至1975年期间进行的发掘工作中，在阿斯塔纳和卡拉-霍贾的墓地中发现了一万多份中文文献。然而，由于报告正式尽管重要的数据没有公布，它不能说，这些有效地使用到现在。由于这份文件是作为死者的鞋、帽等的第二用途，而不是作为任何东西被埋葬的，因此它成为从坟墓中挖掘出的房间的状态中不可或缺的信息，但对这份文件的详细记录并不存在，因此它具有作为挖掘数据可以被称为致命的缺陷。这次调查是为了弥补这一缺陷，并成功地恢复了当时的状态，有关文件从一些重要的墓葬出土。另一方面，通过这次调查，许多未公开的资料也可以被调查出来，有了一个大大颠覆旧的理论的发现。

As the result of excavations carried out between 1959 and 1975, over ten thousand fragments of documents in Chinese have come to light in the grave complexes of Astana and Qara-khoja. However, since the report formal in spite of the importance as the data is not released, it cannot be said that these are used effectively until now. Since the document was secondarily used for a dead person's shoes, a hat, etc. and was buried rather than anything, it becomes indispensable information from a grave room in what state it excavated, but the detailed record for the document does not exist, and so it has the defect which can be referred to as fatal as excavation data. This investigation is for compensating such a defect, and succeeded in restoring the state at the time of an excavation about the document which were excavated from some important tombs. It can be said that it was ready in the preparation which uses the Turfan documents completely from now on.On the other hand, by this investigation, many data non-opened to the public could be investigated also about the painted silk cover of coffin, and there was discovery which reverses an old established theory greatly.
