Tradition attributes the Spring and Autumn to Confucius, claiming that it employs subtle clues that convey his evaluations of its recorded events, and for over two thousand years, it was regarded as one of the most important Chinese classics. Despite its significance in China, the Spring and Autumn has been largely neglected and is poorly understood in the West, perhaps for the simple reason that its records, which are brief, impersonal, and highly formulaic, look nothing like the coded moral judgments that tradition claims them to be. The conventional interpretation of the Spring and Autumn focuses on irregularities in individual records, which may indeed have been the work of later editors. Spring and Autumn Historiography takes the opposite tack, analyzing categories of records that exhibit regular patterns with the aim of exposing the values and priorities that underlie the Spring and Autumn's formally regular core, which was likely produced by Lu record-keepers. This analysis shows that the key to the records lies not in their content but in their form: the records systematically use formal features to mark the relative importance of events, individual leaders, and states, and they reflect a deep concern with hierarchy, high position, and relative rank. Through its formulaic system of recording, the Spring and Autumn presents a Lu-centered hierarchy of individuals and states and seeks to display the exalted position of Lu and the Lu ruler at the pinnacle of this idealized hierarchy"-- $c Provided by publisher. 546 $a Text in English, Chinese with parallel English translation. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Orientations: Approaches to Spring and Autumn Historiography -- Recording the Day -- Encoding Individual Rank -- An Idealized Interstate Order -- Registering Judgments -- Concealing Submission -- Conclusions: Spring and Autumn and the formally regular core. 600 00 $a Confucius. $t Chun qiu. 630 07 $a Chun qiu (Confucius) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01361079 648 7 $a 1122-221 B.C. $2 fast 650 0 $a History $x Methodology. 650 7 $a Historiography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00958221 650 7 $a History $x Methodology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00958259 651 0 $a China $x Historiography. $y Zhou dynasty, 1122-221 B.C. $x Historiography. 651 7 $a China. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206073 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9780231556514 830 0 $a Tang center series in early China. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117021027.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=72B91480DDAE11EDB031D5162DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
