Features: Gu Liang was traditionally passed down orally during the Warring States period. According to Tang Dynasty accounts, the initial transmitter of the Gu Liang Commentary was a man named Gu Liang Chu, who also went by the name Chi and the courtesy name Yuanshi, claiming to have studied the classics under Zixia, a disciple of Confucius. However, later research has revealed that the Gu Liang Commentary once quoted "Gu Liang said," which actually referred to itself, and the book also included references to the words of the Gongyang Commentary along with rebuttals. As a result, some scholars believe it was compiled later than the Gongyang Commentary.
