What is Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period?

Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals is a masterpiece compiled by a group of scholars under the auspices of the Prime Minister of Qin State. This book was written on the eve of Qin Shihuang's unification of China. This book is based on Confucianism, Taoism, Ming, Legalism, Mohism, Agriculture, Soldiers, Yin and Yang, and is full of profound wisdom. Lv Buwei wants to take this as the ideology after reunification. However, the ruling Qin Shihuang later chose Legalism, which frustrated hundred schools of thought, including Taoism. Lv's Spring and Autumn Annals is a masterpiece of Taoism in the pre-Qin period, which is divided into 26 volumes, 160 articles, with more than 200,000 words [2].

As a twelve-year, eight-year and six-year theory, Lv's Spring and Autumn Annals focuses on drawing on the strengths of many schools, taking Taoism as the main body, and accepting the theories of Yin and Yang, Confucianism, Mohism, and military agriculture. But the main purpose belongs to Taoism. Therefore, Hanshu Yiwenzhi listed him as a saint. Gaoyou said that the book "Lv's Spring and Autumn Annals" was "based on morality and governed by inaction", indicating that the earliest annotators had pointed out that the book "Lv's Spring and Autumn Annals" was dominated by Taoist thought.
