A serial research on Tsinghua University's collection of bamboo slips from the Warring States Period (475 B.C.-221 B.C.) won the first prize.

Named in honor of Guo Moruo, a renowned contemporary Chinese writer and historian, the award was established in 1998. A total of 147 works of historical research have been awarded to date.
