What book introduces the specific history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period? The Western Zhou Dynasty perished in 77 1 year BC and entered the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in 770 BC.
The Eastern Zhou Dynasty can be basically divided into the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC) and the Warring States Period (475-22 BC1year). There are many historical books about these 550 years, but what you want is "historical documents", which refers to the records of historical facts in history, usually called "historical materials", and later works on history cannot be called "historical documents".
Accordingly, I put forward the following list of books for your reference: (1) Main historical documents: 1, Historical Records; 2. Zuo Zhuan; 3. Warring States policy; 4. "Mandarin". (2) Important document: 1, Zitongzhijian; 2. General code; 3. Tongzhi; 4 "Literature General Examination".
(3) Works of various philosophers: 1, The Analects of Confucius; 2. Mencius; ③ Mozi; (4) Zhuangzi; 5. Tube; 6. Shang Jun Shu; 7. Xunzi; 8. "Everything is wrong"; 9. Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals. (4) Literary works: 1, The Book of Songs; 2. Song of the South.
(5) Archaeological documents: 1. Letters of the Warring States Period: edited by the silk book arrangement group of Mawangdui Han Tomb, published by Cultural Relics Publishing House; 2. Bamboo Slips of Qin Tomb in Shuihudi: Bamboo Slips of Qin Tomb in Shuihudi compiled and edited bamboo slips unearthed from Shuihudi in Yunmeng County, Hubei Province, which were published by Cultural Relics Publishing House. The above is the main literature basis for studying this period of history.
Of course, the research works of modern historians reflect the research results of later generations on this period of history, and should also be read carefully.
What books should I read to understand the history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period? A historical record is definitely not enough. Spring and Autumn Annals, Zuo Zhuan, Yang Gongzhuan, Gu Liang Zhuan, History of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Warring States Policy, Mandarin, Historical Records, and Capitalism as a Mirror are all very good.
Among them, Chunqiu, Warring States Policy, Zuo Zhuan and Zi Tong Zhi Jian are worth recommending.
The contents of Warring States Policy and Zuo Zhuan are relatively comprehensive, basically giving you a three-dimensional view and more information. Spring and Autumn Annals began in the Spring and Autumn Annals, and Zi Tongzhi Jian began in three schools.
Be careful of the history of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. It's an ancient novel, not an official history.
Wang Yu's Reading the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is also good. I suggest you read a few more Sina books, some of which you like. There are many good books. If you have any questions, please contact me.
I want to know more about the history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It is best to read the books recommended by the Orthodox History of Spring and Autumn Annals, Mandarin and Three Biographies of Spring and Autumn Annals. There are too many versions of Spring and Autumn Annals. It's best to read the version with pronunciation label and vernacular translation, so it won't be too hard, otherwise it will be boring if you don't understand it, and once you really understand it deeply, you can't extricate yourself.
The orthodox History of the Warring States recommends the Warring States policy, and Historical Records also has relevant historical records of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. In addition, Lv's Spring and Autumn Annals and A Hundred Schools of Thought contend also describe the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period with different emphases.
There are many popular versions of vernacular historical biographies. It is recommended that the Spring and Autumn Annals (a modern popular version of An Introduction to the History of the Spring and Autumn Annals), The Rise of Great Powers 2,600 Years ago (focusing on Qi Huangong, the first overlord in the Spring and Autumn Annals), The Biography of Fan Li (focusing on wuyue's hegemony), The Warring States Oligopoly for 200 years (focusing on the history of the separation of three ethnic groups in the Warring States to the unification of the first emperor) and History are the first novels written by the creators. In fact, there are many novels, but personally, there are not many that can arouse people's interest. Daqin Empire is one of the outstanding novels in the Warring States Period. In addition, Miyagidani Masamitsu, a Japanese novelist, wrote many novels during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
