Spring and Autumn Annals - Commentary of Zuo 春秋左傳 (1616)

Chunqiu 春秋 (Spring and Autumn Annals), one of the Wujing 五經 (Five Classics) of Confucianism, is the first Chinese chronological history which covers the years from 722 BC to 479 BC. Zuozhuan 左傳 (The Commentary of Zuo) contains more complete and rich accounts than the Chunqiu and thus has been regarded as the prime source on the ancient history of China. The Chunqiu and Zuozhuan were often edited together during the late Ming period. This USC edition includes annotations by the Ming official and scholar, Sun Kuang 孫鑛 (1543-1613; courtesy name 字 Yuefeng 月峰) and is an excellent example of two color printing in black and red 朱墨套印 in the late Ming dynasty.
