It is said to have been compiled by the numerous retainers of L&uuml; Buwei \u5415\u4e0d\u97e6, counselor-in-chief of the state of Qin \u79e6. Retainers of nobles during that time were often men of higher education who represented a philosophical school or school of thinkers. They were used not only to entertain their master but also to provide him with useful knowledge or advice in daily politics. There is also the title ofL&uuml;lan \u5415\u89c8 &quot;L&uuml;&#39;s examinations&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>  \tThe L&uuml;shi chunqiu consists of 8 chapters of examinations (lan \u89c8), 6 chapters of discourses (lun \u8bba), and 16 chapters of almanachs (ji \u7eaa), in 160 parts. In ancient bibliographies it is normally listed among themiscellaneous masters (zajia \u6742\u5bb6), although it contains also Confucian andDaoist thought as well as theories of the nominalists (mingjia \u540d\u5bb6),legalists, Mohists, agronomists and the Yin-Yang thinkers. Although theL&uuml;shi chunqiu has been compiled by the hands of many authors the final redaction must have been in the hands of an excellent team, as the whole composition is very consistent and integrative. It covers a vast range of topics, beginning with the seasons, the corresponding phenology and the integrative correlation of all appearances in the universe, and treating all different matters in state and society, economy, military, and behaviour. It thus serves as a handbook for a person in a high position to better understand the correlations of all things on earth. The language of theL&uuml;shi chunqiu is very vivid, especially by the use of parables and allegories and the many semi-historical stories reported.<\/p>\n<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p align=\"left\">  \t\t\t\t\t<strong>Contents<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p align=\"left\">  \t\t\t\t\t<strong>\u7eaa<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<em>Ji<\/em>&nbsp;The Almanacs<\/strong><br \/>  \t\t\t\t\t1. \u5b5f\u6625\u7eaa&nbsp;<em>Mengchun<\/em>&nbsp;The first month of spring<br \/>  \t\t\t\t\t2. \u4ef2\u6625\u7eaa&nbsp;<em>Zhongchun<\/em>&nbsp;The second month of spring<br \/>  \t\t\t\t\t3. \u5b63\u6625\u7eaa&nbsp;<em>Jichun<\/em>&nbsp;The third month of spring<br \/>  \t\t\t\t\t4. \u5b5f\u590f\u7eaa&nbsp;<em>Mengxia<\/em>&nbsp;The first month of summer<br \/>  \t\t\t\t\t5. \u4ef2\u590f\u7eaa&nbsp;<em>Zhongxia<\/em>&nbsp;The second month of summer<br \/>  \t\t\t\t\t6. \u5b63\u590f\u7eaa&nbsp;<em>Jixia<\/em>&nbsp;The third month of summer<br \/>  \t\t\t\t\t7. \u5b5f\u79cb\u7eaa&nbsp;<em>Mengqiu<\/em>&nbsp;The first month of autumn<br \/>  \t\t\t\t\t8. \u4ef2\u79cb\u7eaa&nbsp;<em>Zhongqiu<\/em>&nbsp;The second month of autumn<br \/>  \t\t\t\t\t9. \u5b63\u79cb\u7eaa&nbsp;<em>Jiqiu<\/em>&nbsp;The third month of autumn<br \/>  \t\t\t\t\t10. \u5b5f\u51ac\u7eaa&nbsp;<em>Mengdong<\/em>&nbsp;The first month of winter<br \/>  \t\t\t\t\t11. \u4ef2\u51ac\u7eaa&nbsp;<em>Zhongdong<\/em>&nbsp;The second month of winter<br \/>  \t\t\t\t\t12. \u5b63\u51ac\u7eaa&nbsp;<em>Jidong<\/em>&nbsp;The third month of winter<br \/>  \t\t\t\t\t<strong>\u89c8<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<em>Lan<\/em>&nbsp;The Examinations<\/strong><br \/>  \t\t\t\t\t1.(13.) \u6709\u59cb\u89c8&nbsp;<em>Youshi<\/em>&nbsp;The beginning<br \/>  \t\t\t\t\t2.(14.) \u5b5d\u884c\u89c8&nbsp;<em>Xiaoxing<\/em>&nbsp;Filial conduct<br \/>  \t\t\t\t\t3.(15.) \u614e\u5927\u89c8&nbsp;<em>Shenda<\/em>&nbsp;Being careful when [the state] is large<br \/>  \t\t\t\t\t4.(16.) \u5148\u8bc6\u89c8&nbsp;<em>Xianshi<\/em>&nbsp;Foreknowledge<br \/>  \t\t\t\t\t5.(17.) \u5ba1\u5206\u89c8&nbsp;<em>Shenfen<\/em>&nbsp;On examining divisions [of responsibility]<br \/>  \t\t\t\t\t6.(18.) \u5ba1\u5e94\u89c8&nbsp;<em>Shenying<\/em>&nbsp;Examining responses<br \/>  \t\t\t\t\t7.(19.) \u79bb\u4fd7\u89c8&nbsp;<em>Lisu<\/em>&nbsp;Departing from conventional [conduct]<br \/>  \t\t\t\t\t8.(20.) \u6043\u541b\u89c8&nbsp;<em>Shijun<\/em>&nbsp;Relying on rulers<br \/>  \t\t\t\t\t<strong>\u8bba<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<em>Lun<\/em>&nbsp;The Discourses<\/strong><br \/>  \t\t\t\t\t1.(21.) \u5f00\u6625\u8bba&nbsp;<em>Kaichun<\/em>&nbsp;The opening of spring<br \/>  \t\t\t\t\t2.(22.) \u614e\u884c\u8bba&nbsp;<em>Shenxing<\/em>&nbsp;Being cautious in one&#39;s conduct<br \/>  \t\t\t\t\t3.(23.) \u8d35\u76f4\u8bba&nbsp;<em>Guizhi<\/em>&nbsp;Valuing straight [talk]<br \/>  \t\t\t\t\t4.(24.) \u4e0d\u82df\u8bba&nbsp;<em>Bugou<\/em>&nbsp;Nothing indecorous<br \/>  \t\t\t\t\t5.(25.) \u4f3c\u987a\u8bba&nbsp;<em>Sishun<\/em>&nbsp;Apparent accord<br \/>  \t\t\t\t\t6.(26.) \u58eb\u5bb9\u8bba&nbsp;<em>Shirong<\/em>&nbsp;The comportment of the scholar-knight<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div class=\"chine-tie-zi-nei-rong-zhi-hou\" id=\"chine-434010453\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1889418300638825\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1889418300638825\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7273022922\" \ndata-ad-layout-key=\"-gw-3+1f-3d+2z\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The L&uuml;shi chunqiu \u5415\u6c0f\u6625\u79cb &quot;Spring and Autumn of Master L&uuml;&quot; is a collection of treatises on cosmological matters from the late Warring States period \u6218\u56fd (5th cent.-221 BCE).
