This text are scribed by Chǔ（楚） people in Late Warring States, describe the history of Zhèng. This text records the debate whether Duke Zhuāng of Zhèng be in charge of government affairs.
In chapter one, I introduce the content of Chu Bamboo Slips of the Warring States Period Collected in Tsing Hua University and “Duchess Wǔ of Zhèng Admonish the Heir” first. Then I review previous research. At last, I explain the principles and methods of reconstructing manuscript roll, recognition unknown word, and interpretation of meaning.
In chapter two, base on the method of radiocarbon dating and moisture content of bamboo, I examine the authenticity based on bamboo slips. Then I induction the length of bamboo slips, indicate most of bamboo slips are 1.5 feet、2 feet and 2.5 feet in Warring States. The relationship between length and reverence can be found in some cases. According to above-mentioned study, I explain the meaning of this text. Finally, I explain the causes that produce “Verso lines”, which are scratched on the backside of bamboo slips. The verso lines can reconstruct manuscript roll in specific situations. This text have a discontinuous verso lines, that imply collators may reconstruct manuscript roll in wrong way.
In chapter three, according to verso lines and context, I move the 9th bamboo slip to the please between the 13th bamboo slip and 14th bamboo slip. And claim that have no missing bamboo slip between the 14th bamboo slip and 15th bamboo slip.

In chapter five, I analysis the euphemism in this text. Examining the causes of euphemism. When speaker’s status lower than the listener or they want to show goodwill, that inclined they to use euphemism. Some talking theme like taboo, personal relevant thing, mandate, refusing and criticism can make listener unpleasant, that inclined they to use euphemism too.
