The Commentary of Zuo (Zuozhuan 左傳), a commentary to the Chunqiu, contains more complete and rich accounts and thus has been regarded as the prime source of the ancient history of China. The Chunqiu and Zuozhuan were often edited together during the later years of the Ming dynasty. This USC's 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.

It was compiled by the Ming scholar Zhu Yun 朱雲 in 1530. Qing scholars Lin Shangkui 林尚葵 (courtesy name 字 Zhuchen 朱臣) and Li Gen 李根 (courtesy name 字 Aling 阿靈) compiled and corrected this expanded edition, which was printed in two colors in black and red (朱墨套印) in 1670. The ex libris seal 南陵徐乃昌校勘經籍記 on the caption title page (卷端頁) of the book is from Xu Naichang 徐乃昌 (1869-1943), a well-known collector and scholar in the late Qing and Republican periods.

The collection has been considered as the precursor to the Chinese ci 詞 poetry (song lyrics) of the Song Dynasty (960-1279). Donated by James Tang, USC's copy is an annotated edition by Tang Xianzhu 湯顯祖 (1550-1616), a prestigious Chinese playwright of the Ming dynasty who was contemporary with the renowned English dramatist William Shakespeare (1564-1616) and passed away in the same year. It was printed around 1620 according to the colophon (Gengshen year of the Wanli reign 萬曆庚申). This edition is an excellent example of two-color printing in black and red (朱墨套印) in the late Ming dynasty.
  Donated by James Tang. Colophon date: 1620 (Gengshen year of the Wanli reign 萬曆庚申).
