Features: The Gongyang Commentary primarily explains the principles of the Spring and Autumn Annals, while also discussing its literary structure and historical facts. The Gongyang Commentary is the earliest recognized among the "Three Commentaries on the Spring and Autumn Annals" and has been highly valued and studied by later generations. This book is based on the Thirteen Classics with Annotations and Explanations, with differences in the text among the three commentaries noted. The commentary references Ruan Yuan's Corrections and Annotations and primarily adopts the views of He Lin and Kong Guangsen for annotations. Each chapter is preceded by an introduction explaining the historical background, central meaning, and character relationships, with precise annotations and additional textual research, demonstrating considerable effort. The translation is clear and easy to understand.
