- Summary
- "The Spring and Autumn Annals of Master Yan is the biography of one of the most important statesmen and political thinkers of the Eastern Zhou dynasty China: Yan Ying (died 500 BCE). Living through an exceptionally troubled period, he served three rulers and two dictators of the state of Qi, in Shandong Province. His experiences informed his revolutionary theories concerning the relationship between the individual and the state. Long considered to be a forgery, recent archaeological discoveries have proved the Spring and Autumn Annals of Master Yan to be a genuinely ancient text. This book provides not only the first complete translation of the text into any Western language, but a detailed analysis of the context in which it was produced"--Provided by publisher.
