Features: The translation and annotation of The Commentary and Explanation of the Gongyang Commentary on the Spring and Autumn Annals are based on the Thirteen Classics with Annotations and Explanations as the original text. For the textual part, differences among the three commentaries are annotated, while the commentary part refers to Ruan Yuan's Records of Textual Criticism. The annotations primarily adopt the views of He Lin and Kong Guangsen. Each chapter is preceded by an introduction explaining the historical background, central meaning, and relationships between figures. The annotations are precise, often supplemented with textual research, demonstrating considerable effort. The translation is clear and easy to understand. The book uses the Thirteen Classics with Annotations and Explanations version of The Gongyang Commentary on the Spring and Autumn Annals as the original text, with annotations primarily drawing on He Xi's Explanation of the Gongyang Commentary on the Spring and Autumn Annals and Kong Guangsen's General Principles of the Gongyang Commentary on the Spring and Autumn Annals.
