Which book is better at writing about war, Zuo Zhuan or Mencius?

None of them are good at it. You can look at thirty-six strategies. The full name of Zuo Zhuan is Zuo Zhuan in the Spring and Autumn Period. According to legend, it is a chronicle written by Zuo Qiuming, a historian of Lu State, to explain Confucius' Spring and Autumn Period at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period. It started in the year of Lu Yin (722 BC) and ended in the fourteenth year of Lu Daogong (454 BC). Zuo Zhuan's biography is better than Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period. All these show the close relationship between Zuozhuan and Chunqiu. Zuo Zhuan is not only a masterpiece of China's ancient history, but also a literary masterpiece.

Explaining Kong Qiu's thought, Mencius is a compilation of Mencius' speeches, which was written by Mencius and his disciple * * *, and recorded Mencius' language, political views (benevolence, Wang Ba's debate, people-oriented, respecting the right and wrong of the monarch, valuing the people and despising the monarch) and political actions. It is a Confucian classic. The starting point of his theory is the theory of good nature, which puts forward "benevolent governance" and "kingly governance" and advocates rule by virtue. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhu Xi called Mencius, The Analects of Confucius, Daxue and The Doctrine of the Mean "Four Books".

Mencius

Since the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, it has been regarded as a book handed down from family to family. Just like today's textbooks. Mencius is the longest and heaviest of the four books, with more than 35, words. From then on until the end of the Qing Dynasty, "Four Books" has always been a compulsory part of the imperial examination. The theory of Mencius is not only pure and broad, but also extremely vigorous and beautiful. Five Classics: The Book of Songs, Shangshu, Book of Rites, Yijing and Chunqiu.

Mencius has seven articles and fourteen volumes handed down from generation to generation: the first and second chapters of King Hui of Liang; "GongSunChou" up and down; "Teng Wengong" up and down; "Li Lou" up and down; "Zhang Wan" up and down; "Gao Zi" goes up and down; "Dedicated" up and down.

However, according to Mencius, when Mencius saw you, such as Liang Huiwang, Liang Xiangwang, Qi Xuanwang, Zou Mugong, Teng Wengong, Lu Pinggong, etc., they were all called posthumous title, which was not what Mencius did on his own. Also remember that Mencius' disciples Le Zhengzi, Gong Duzi and Wu Luzi are all called "Zi", which is definitely not Mencius' work, and its compilers are probably Mencius' disciples. The book was written in the middle of the Warring States Period.

The book Mencius, which expounds Kong Qiu's thought, is a compilation of Mencius' speeches, which was compiled by Mencius and his disciple * *, and recorded Mencius' language, political views (benevolence, Wang Ba's debate, people-oriented, respecting the right and wrong of the monarch's heart, valuing the people and despising the monarch) and political actions. It is a Confucian classic. The starting point of his theory is the theory of good nature, which puts forward "benevolent governance" and "kingly governance" and advocates rule by virtue. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhu Xi called Mencius, The Analects of Confucius, Daxue and The Doctrine of the Mean "Four Books".
