Lü Buwei (?) —235 BC), surnamed Jiang, Lü, named Buwei, was a native of Puyang, Weiguo (now Huaxian County, Anyang City, Henan Province). In the last years of the Warring States period, he was a businessman, politician, and thinker, and later the prime minister of the Qin State and the twenty-third grandson of Jiang Ziya.

In his early years, he was engaged in business in Yangzhai, brought the proton alien of Qin back to Qin, and supported him to become the queen of Qin Zhuangxiang. He led troops to capture the lands of Zhou, Zhao and Weiguo, and set up Sanchuan County, Taiyuan County, and Dong County respectively, making significant contributions to the cause of Qin Wang Yingzheng to annex the Six Kingdoms.

After the death of King Zhuangxiang, the crown prince Yingzheng ascended the throne, worshiped as the prime minister, and was honored as the "middle father", and the power was overwhelming. Implicated in the rebellion of the Chang Yu group, he returned to the country, and his family was exiled to Shu County, killing himself by drinking on the way.

He presided over the compilation of the "Lü Shi Spring and Autumn Period" (also known as "Lü Lan"), including eight books, six treatises, and twelve periods, which combined the doctrines of the pre-Qin princes.

At that time, celebrities from all over the world were often proud of the fact that their guests could write books and speak, and Lü Buwei was unwilling to be resigned, so he ordered everyone who could write an article to write what he had heard, seen and felt. After the article was handed over to Wang Socks, there were all kinds of things, and there were all kinds of writing, such as the past and the present, the upper and lower four directions, all things in heaven and earth, the rise and fall of chaos, the agriculture and industry, and the three religions and nine streams, all of which were discussed, and many articles were repeated. Lü Buwei also selected several article masters to screen, classify, and delete these articles, and put them together and wrote a book on the eve of Qin Shi Huang's unification.

Lü Buwei himself believes that it includes the affairs of heaven and earth throughout the ages, so it is called "Lü's Spring and Autumn".
