oral tradition traced to Zixia, committed to writing by Gongyang Shou and disciples · c. 150s BC · Qufu, State of Lu (China) · history

Descends from
- Spring and Autumn Annals · c. 5th century BC (a terse court chronicle of the State of Lu covering 722-481 BC, compiled and closed out shortly after that final year)
