Volume of Wooden Slips: Shiji as a Reference
The rolled-up volume of “Monthly and Seasonal Records of Military Supplies from the Guangdi South Platoon in the Yungyuan Era” measures 1,579.5 cm3. Assuming that the volume of Shiji is 180 times that of the above register, a complete edition of Shiji would require 284,310 cm3 of space—or approximately 225 times more than current editions printed on paper.
