Zuo Tradition, China’s first great work of history, was completed
by about 300 BCE and recounts events during a period of disunity
from 722 to 468 BCE. The text, which plays a foundational role in
Chinese culture, has been newly translated into English by Stephen
Durrant, Wai-yee Li, and David Schaberg in an unabridged,
bilingual, three-volume set. This reader arranges key passages from
that set according to topic, as a guide to the study of early
Chinese culture and thought. Chapter subjects include succession
struggles; women; warfare; ritual propriety; governance; law and
punishment; famous statesmen; diplomacy; Confucius and his
disciples; dreams and anomalies; and cultural others. An
introduction explains the nature and significance of Zuozhuan and
discusses how to read the text. Section introductions and judicious
footnoting provide contextual information and explain the
historical significance and meaning of particular events. The Zuo
Tradition / Zuozhuan Reader will appeal to readers interested in
Chinese and world history, claiming a place on library and personal
bookshelves alongside other narratives from the ancient world.
