Interesting, they have found the remains of a late Han school. If they can construct the subject matter you might know more about any melding of cultures. A lot is lost due to the nature of the writing materials. Each dynasty only copied the "useful" material of the earlier one. Ther were no Irish Monks to save the Far East.

I'm worried about the secrecy of the Chinese and their insistence that their culture was not influenced by 'outsiders'. They withheld the DNA material extracted from the mummies by Victor Mair and his colleagues. The mummies themselves were accidently found in the unlighted backroom of a museum by Mair.
