Beschreibungen
<p><i>Zuo Tradition</i> (<i>Zuozhuan</i>; sometimes called The Zuo Commentary) is China’s first great work of history. It consists of two interwoven texts - the Spring and Autumn Annals (Chunqiu, a terse annalistic record) and a vast web of narratives and speeches that add context and interpretation to the Annals. Completed by about 300 BCE, it is the longest and one of the most difficult texts surviving from pre-imperial times. It has been as important to the foundation and preservation of Chinese culture as the historical books of the Hebrew Bible have been to the Jewish and Christian traditions. It has shaped notions of history, justice, and the significance of human action in the Chinese tradition perhaps more so than any comparable work of Latin or Greek historiography has done to Western civilization. This translation, accompanied by the original text, an introduction, and annotations, will finally make Zuozhuan accessible to all.</p>
<p>Stephen Durrant is professor of Chinese language and literature at the University of Oregon. He is the coauthor of <i>The Siren and the Sage: Knowledge and Wisdom in Ancient Greece and China</i>. Wai-yee Li is professor of Chinese literature at Harvard University. She is the author of <i>The Readability of the Past in Early Chinese Historiography</i>. David Schaberg is professor of Asian languages and culture at UCLA. He is the author of<i> A Patterned Past: Form and Thought in Early Chinese Historiography</i>.</p>
<p>"<i>Zuozhuan</i> has anchored the entire corpus of Chinese historical writing for the last two millennia. Its canonical status as the work of Confucius has given it enormous authority not just in determining how Chinese historians should record past events, but in shaping how the Chinese imagine that history itself unfolds. Now that we have this meticulously researched and carefully considered translation, this foundational text can finally take its place among the core classics of early historical writing worldwide."—Timothy Brook, University of British Columbia</p>
