Rui Liangfu Bi( ＜芮良夫毖＞) is one of ten old documents contained in the 3rd release of Tsinghua Bamboo Slips(清华简) - a collection of Chinese texts dating to the Warring States period, which was acquired in 2008 by Tsinghua University. Rui Liangfu Bi( ＜芮良夫毖＞) is written by Rui Liangfu(芮良夫) during the reign of Zhou King Li(厲王, 879 – 841 B.C.) of West Zhou and is one of the lost poems of the pre-Qin period. It contains the caution and admonition to the ruling class and the king while showing Rui Liangfu’s concern about the disorder and confusion of the country. It is one of the typical expostulation poem(毖詩) of the pre-Qin period. This paper makes an exegesis of the second piece and discusses the meaning of the excavation of the Rui Liangfu Bi( ＜芮良夫毖＞).
