Hsing I-tien, “Qin-Han Census and Tax and Corvée Administration,” 177–78, argues that all texts buried in tombs are replicas, “likely duplicates or excerpts of real official documents used during the tomb occupant’s lifetime.” However, the existence of some texts clearly made for burial (most notably those at Mawangdui) cannot be taken as evidence that all of them are burial goods.
