Features: The Statesman's Manual (Guo Yü) is a historical work from the pre-Qin period, traditionally attributed to the Lu State historian Zuo Qiuming, though it is generally considered a work from the early Warring States period. It records a history of approximately 500 years, from the campaign of King Mu of the Western Zhou against the Dongrong to the division of the state among the three families. It fully depicts the conflicts and struggles between the various feudal states at that time, as well as within the states themselves. The Strategies of the Warring States, compiled by the Han scholar Liu Xiang from the writings of the strategists of the Warring States period, is a unique national history that portrays the vibrant and diverse historical landscapes of the 12 major feudal states from the early Warring States period to the unification of the Qin dynasty over 240 years.
