Spring and Autumn Annals of Wu and Yue is the first complete English translation of Wu Yue Chunqiu, a chronicle of two neighboring states during China's Spring and Autumn period. This collection of political history, philosophy, and fictional accounts depicts the rise and fall of Wu and Yue and the rivalry between them, the inspiration for centuries of poetry, vernacular fiction, and drama.

Wu Yue Chunqiu makes use of rich sources from the past, carefully adapting and developing them into complex stories. Historical figures are transformed into distinctive characters; simple records of events are fleshed out and made tangible. The result is a nuanced record that is both a compelling narrative and a valuable historical text. As one of the earliest examples of a regional history, Wu Yue Chunqiu is also an important source for the history of what is now Zhejiang and Jiangsu.

In Spring and Autumn Annals of Wu and Yue, Jianjun He's engaging translation and extensive annotations make this significant historical and literary work accessible to an English-speaking audience for the first time.




吳越春秋》是東漢時期的著作,為稗官雜記體之別史。東漢趙曄撰,唐皇甫遵刪定[1],共有十卷。敘述春秋時期吳、越二國之間的戰事。文辭豐蔚富饒,頗似小說家言。在四庫全書中為史部記載類。

現今較佳的點校本有今人周生春撰《吳越春秋輯校匯考》,並附有異文及佚文。注釋本較佳有張覺校注《吳越春秋》(簡體字版有貴州人民出版社[2]嶽麓書社。繁體字版有臺灣古籍出版社)、黃仁生注譯《新譯吳越春秋》(三民書局出版)。

The Spring and Autumn Annals of Wu and Yue (ChinesepinyinWúyuè Chūnqiū) is an unofficial history from the time of the Eastern Han dynasty that consists of a collection sidenotes on historical events. The ten-volume book was written by Zhao Ye (赵晔), and narrates the history of battles between the states of Wu and Yue during the Spring and Autumn period. The text is richly styled and detailed in a way that resembles texts from the School of "Minor-talks" (小說家/小说家; Xiaoshuojia) within the Hundred Schools of Thought.

The Spring and Autumn Annals of Wu and Yue is considered a follow-up of the Lost Book of Yue (越絕書). The annals have several modern commentaries and revised versions.
