Features: The Spring and Autumn Annals of Guoliang is the latest of the three commentaries on the Spring and Autumn Annals. Its doctrines are largely derived from the Confucian scholars of Lu, emphasizing the promotion of the meaning of the classics and strictly adhering to the writing style of the Spring and Autumn Annals, clarifying its principles. However, in terms of historical records, it is less detailed than Zuo Zhuan and occasionally offers conjectural interpretations rather than factual accounts to express personal opinions. This book addresses the shortcomings of The Spring and Autumn Annals of Guoliang by using the historical facts from Zuo Zhuan to interpret the classics and commenting on certain conjectural statements in the commentary. The translation is both faithful and expressive, providing convenience for modern readers.
