What is Chinese and what is the book Chinese about?

Chinese is one of the earliest national works in China.

It records the history of the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty and the vassal states of Lu, Qi, Jin, Zheng, Chu, Wu, and Yue.

From the twelfth year of King Mu of Zhou (990 BC) to the west to the west of the dog Rong (about 947 BC), down to the destruction of Zhibo (453 BC). Including court appointments, banquets, sarcasm, arguments, responses between nobles of various countries, as well as some historical events and legends.

Original title: "Chinese" Category: Country-specific works "Chinese" is a miscellaneous national history of the Western Zhou (11th century BC 771 BC) and Spring and Autumn (770 BC 476 BC) Zhou, Lu, Qi, Jin, Zheng, Chu, Wu, and Yue eight national figures, deeds, and speeches, also called "Spring and Autumn Gaiden".

It turns out that the legend was written by Zuo Qiu Ming of the Lu people in the late Spring and Autumn Period, and it is listed as a work to explain the "Spring and Autumn Period" along with the "Zuo Chuan". Modern scholars have confirmed that there were blind historians in the Spring and Autumn Period, who specialized in memorizing and telling ancient and modern history. Zuo Qiu Ming was a famous blind historian who preceded Confucius, and his history was appreciated by Confucius.

The historical events told by the blind historian were collected into a book by later generations, called "Language", and then divided according to the country, that is, "Zhou Language", "Lu Language", etc., collectively called "Chinese". During the Western Jin Dynasty, a large number of ancient books written on bamboo slips were found in the tomb of King Xiang of Wei, including three articles of "Chinese", which talked about the history of Chu and Jin, which shows that this book began to circulate during the Warring States. The current version of Chinese is probably the sum total of these surviving records.

Because it is a sporadic record passed down by word of mouth, the content is mainly colloquial, and there are no strict standards for the distinction and arrangement of countries and eras.

Among the twenty-one volumes of the book, there are nine volumes of "Jin Language", two volumes of "Chu Language", and only one volume of "Qi Language". "Zhou Yu" starts from King Mu and belongs to the early Western Zhou Dynasty. "Zheng Yu" only records the historical fact that Duke Huan discussed the eastward migration, and it was still before the Spring and Autumn Period.

The Jin Yu records the demise of Zhibo, in the early Warring States period. Therefore, the content of "Chinese" is not limited to "Spring and Autumn", but it does record many important events in Western Zhou and Spring and Autumn. Judging from the origin of the teaching, it can be considered that it was written by Zuo Qiu Ming.

The records from which the Chinese "Language" comes are a kind of original historical materials of great value, so Sima Qian drew a lot of historical materials from it when he wrote the "Historical Records". The Chinese languages are arranged in a certain order. In terms of content, the emphasis is on the remarks of historical figures.

This is the biggest feature of the Chinese style.

The Chinese Language is a chronicle of the history of the country, twenty-one articles, roughly written in the early years of the Warring States period, and is said to have been written by Zuo Qiu Ming. It is also called "Spring and Autumn Gaiden".

and as "Spring and Autumn Biography".

's "Zuo Biography" is juxtaposed, and the two books are each other's surface and inside, and they refer to each other.
