2. Reading Zuozhuan《春秋左氏傳》研讀, Blockseminar, Nasse 2 / R 1.005, Prof. Yuri Pines
Zuozhuan (Zuo Tradition) 左傳 is one of a few texts that no student of early China can afford to ignore. It is by far the largest, richest, and also one of the most controversial texts. Ever since the attempt by Liu Xin 劉歆 to establish it as an official commentary on the Chunqiu 春秋 (Springs-andAutumns) Annals it was accompanied by bitter polemics. Most previous discussions revolved around questions such as the text’s authorship, the dates of its composition, and its relations to the Chunqiu Annals. Recent advances in textual studies, coupled with the impact of the paleographic revolution, allow us to pose new questions and seek new understandings of Zuozhuan. In our class we shall read selected passages from Zuozhuan and try to address in particular the following issues: What were the primary sources utilized by Zuozhuan compiler(s)? Who made (or invented, or modified) records of the past and for which audience? What were the goals of composers, compilers, transmitters, and editors of historical texts in the Eastern Zhou period? And how did they achieve these goals? How can we discern (if at all) different geographic, temporal, and stylistic layers in Zuozhuan? How is Zuozhuan related (if at all) to the Springs-and-Autumns Annals? And how is it related to a variety of unearthed and transmitted texts from the Eastern Zhou period?
The secondary goal of the class is to introduce the students to recent advancements in studies of Zuozhuan in the West. We shall read a sample of publications by leading Western scholars of the text and discuss them parallel to our reading of Zuozhuan, mostly in the second part of the reading group.
