Talking about Wei, Da Zai said, "I am willing to work for Wei Jun, and Wei Jun is slow to arrive. I am timid, so I stopped. Zi Gong said: "When Wei Jun comes, he will look for his people. Its public or desire or absence, its slow. When it wants to come, the party of the son is also. If he doesn't want to come, he will get back at his son. You praise Wei Jun, you fall behind, and you take revenge. People who have lost their children will be ambitious! Who dares to be afraid of uniting with the princes and defending the monarch? Fall into the party and worship the enemy, but fear the princes, or it is difficult to dominate! " Zai Hao said, and will give up. Wei Hou came back and Xiao Yi spoke. The son was still young and said, "You will inevitably die of barbarians! "! Stick to what you said, but say what you said and stick to it. 」

In the spring of the twelfth year, in the first month of the weekly calendar, the land tax system was implemented.

In summer, May, Mencius, Lu's wife, died. Zhao Gong married the State of Wu, so the Spring and Autumn Annals did not record Mencius' surname. He died without an obituary, so he didn't call his wife. After the burial, I didn't go back to the ancestral temple to cry, nor did I say that I buried Xiaojun. Confucius took part in the condolences and went to Ji's place. Ji didn't take off his hat, but Confucius took off his mourning clothes and bowed down.

Aigong met the people of Wu in Gaodan, and the King of Wu sent Taizai to ask for a re-examination of the past covenant. Aigong didn't want to, Paizi Gong replied: "The pledge is used to consolidate credit, so it should be bound by sincerity, dedicated by jade, completed by words and guaranteed by God." The widowed gentleman thinks that he has an appointment and cannot change it. If it can be changed, what's the use of swearing every day? Now you say,' You must review the Old Testament'. If you can revisit, you can also be cold. "So I didn't revisit the covenant.

Wu summoned Weiguo to attend the governors' meeting. When wei ren killed Wu's pedestrian, Yao was afraid, so he discussed it with the pedestrian. Yu Zi said, "When Wu was at a loss, I was worried that it would humiliate our monarch. It is better not to do it. " Zi Mu said: "When the State of Wu has no way, if the State has no way, it will certainly harm people. Even if Wu has no choice, it will be enough to harm the country. Let's go When the tree fell, nothing was unscathed; Some dogs are crazy, and no one doesn't bite, let alone a big country? "

In autumn, Wei met with Wu people. Aigong formed an alliance with Wei and Huang Ai, and finally declined to form an alliance with Wu. The people of Wu surrounded Wei's home. Zifu Jingbo said to Zigong: "The princes have met each other, and the leader of the alliance concierge and the local master gave food to bid farewell. Now Wu doesn't perform etiquette to defend the country, but embarrasses him by surrounding their monarch's house. Why don't you go and see Taizai? " Zi Gong asked for five brocade and went. When talking about defending the country, Taizai said: "My widowed gentleman is willing to work for the king who defends the country, but he came late, and I am afraid, so I want to keep him." Zi Gong said, "When Wei Jun comes, he will consult with his ministers. Some of them agreed with him or disagreed with him, so he was late. Those who agree are all your friends. People who disagree are your enemies. If we detain Wang Wei, we will destroy our friends and raise our enemies. Those who want to destroy you are proud of it, and the ministers detain Wang Wei. Who dares not be afraid? Destroying friends and raising enemies makes the princes fear, and it is difficult to monopolize! " When Taizai was happy, he let Wei Gongchu go. Wei learned to speak the words of foreigners when he came back from a business trip. At that time, the child was still young and said, "You must be in trouble. I'm afraid he will die there! " Being detained by them still likes to learn from them, so it is inevitable to go with them. "

In winter and December, locusts haunt. Ji Sun asked Confucius about it. Confucius said, "When I heard that Mars was sinking in autumn, all insects were dormant. Now Mars still passes through the West, which is an official fault. "

In September, the Song Dynasty attacked Zheng, occupied this land, killed his grandson, and then surrounded this rocky land. In December, Handa saved Zheng's rocky land.

The Relationship between Chunqiu and Zuozhuan

Based on the Spring and Autumn Annals, Zuo Zhuan uses materials from Zhou Zhi, Jincheng, Zhengshu and Chu Bian to explain the outline of the Spring and Autumn Annals by describing specific historical facts in the Spring and Autumn Period. Sima Qian said in Biographies of Twelve Governors in Historical Records: "Zuo Qiuming, a gentleman of Lu, is afraid of heresy among his disciples, and each has his own interests and loses his reason. Therefore, because Confucius' Historical Records has comments on his words, it became Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals. " Huan Tan's "New Theory" further holds that: "Zuo Zhuan's classics and biography are deadlocked, and the classics are not passed on, which makes it unknown for the saints to think behind closed doors for ten years. In the article Zuo Zhuan, Yang Bojun summed up that there are four ways for Zuo Zhuan to spread Chunqiu: namely, "interpreting Chunqiu's calligraphy, supplementing Chunqiu with facts, correcting Chunqiu's mistakes, and adding essays without classics". "

Another view is that Zuo Zhuan is an independent history book and has no direct connection with Chunqiu. The doctor of modern literature in the Western Han Dynasty called Zuo Zhuan Chunqiu. The King of Jin continued: "As the saying goes, Zuo Shi is rich in words, and it is a book of its own, not based on classics; "Ram" is attached to a sutra, so it is not written or spread indiscriminately. Its words are frugal and classic. " Shang Chen said: "Confucius practiced Confucian classics, praised and criticized good and evil, and distinguished role models from legalists;" "Zuo Qiuming is a historian of Lu and a recorder of current political affairs ... With the Japanese month ... this is not to help the sacred words, but to decorate the scriptures, and it is the flow of Gai Taishi's family ... so the master is a classic, and it should be juxtaposed with poetry, books and Zhouyi." Tyumen is history, and it should be juxtaposed with Sima Qian and Ban Gu.

In the Qing Dynasty, both Liu Hepi and Pi believed that Zuo Zhuan was an independent history book. Pi fully affirmed the theory in the General Theory of Confucian Classics, Spring and Autumn, and quoted the twenty-six years of Zhuanggong Biography: "In autumn, Guo people invaded Jin. At the end of winter, people invaded Jin again. " Du Yu's Shuo Wen Jie Zi Collection said: "In this year, classics and biographies each said their own words, or classics were straight texts, or books were scattered, regardless of their origins and endings, biographies were no longer interpreted, but just a story."

There are many contents in Zuo Zhuan that explain the classics, such as Yue of a Gentleman and Fifty Fans, but they are obviously traces of processing, and most of them are not integrated with biographies. Lin li, a poet in the Song Dynasty, said: "In Zuo Zhuan, what the gentleman said was what Liu Xin said." There are some poems in the Spring and Autumn Annals that have no corresponding biography of Zuo Zhuan, such as Spring and Autumn Annals and Two Years of Hidden Gong: "In ten cases, there is a second month, and the wife is the son." Du pre-note: "No biography."

There is no corresponding scripture in the Spring and Autumn Annals in Zuo Zhuan. For example, Zuo Zhuan was "xianggong" for fifteen years: "(Winter) Zheng Gongsun Xia went to Shanxi for a funeral and was buried." There is no corresponding scripture in the Spring and Autumn Annals in this article. There are also people who are different from classics and biographies, and biographies after classics.
