Trade Review

The Spring and Autumn Annals of Wu and Yue is part of a major tradition within Chinese literature, dealing with the long drawn out and highly dramatic conflict between these two kingdoms in the early fifth century B.C.E., which culminated in the conquest of Wu by Yue. He Jianjun is to be commended for taking on the challenge of translating this book into English.
