Description: A major resource expanding the study of early Chinese philosophy, religion, literature, and politics, the first complete English-language translation of the Luxuriant Gems of the Spring and Autumn (Chunqiu fanlu), one of the key texts of early Confucianism
Brief description: True
Review Quotes: Queen and Major offer far more than a reliable, rigorous, and meticulous translation of a major work of ancient Chinese political thought: theirs is a new reading of the notoriously sprawling Chunqiu fanlu together with an exemplary, sophisticated study of the text as a layered, composite work, revealing in detail its multiple ideological agendas and contexts from across the centuries of early imperial intellectual history. An exemplary accomplishment and a wonderful resource for students and scholars alike!--Martin Kern, Princeton University
