nobody calls them "Guodian Chu slips"

I can assure you that no native speaker of English who works on these materials calls them "Guodian Chu slips." "Bamboo slips" seems to be the standard PRC translation of zhujian 竹簡 (so "Guodian Chu slips" = Guodian Chujian 郭店楚簡), but that doesn't mean it's idiomatic or that we're obliged to perpetuate it. Scott Cook, who has published the definitive translation and study in English, calls them "The Bamboo Texts of Guodian." I would say "manuscripts."--98.111.164.239 (talk) 09:47, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
