Zoumalou bamboo slips (simplified Chinese: 走马楼简牍; traditional Chinese: 走馬樓簡牘; pinyin: zǒumǎlóu jiǎndú) refers to cultural relics that were unearthed at Zoumalou, the urban central area of Changsha, Hunan, China in 1996.
In October 1996, at the construction site for the Japanese department store Heiwado (平和堂) more than 140,000 pieces of bamboo and wooden slips were unearthed.
From their discovery in 1996, to the final clean up in 2015, archaeologists spent 19 years completing the arrangement of the cultural relics.
In 2004, 206 bamboo slips were discovered, with characters at Dongpailou (东牌楼), that belonged to the Eastern Han period (25–220 AD).
