DAY 304
Zuo Zhuan
春秋左氏傳
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK
What does history record in times of chaos?
📝ONGO's Reflection
As I read on through the turmoil of the Spring and Autumn period and the rise and fall of its heroes, I felt with full force that history is one vast drama. With intricate detail the author captures the intrigue, loyalty, and betrayal that swirl around power, asking always what qualities make a leader fit to decide a nation's fate. If you wish to see the fierce strategizing of those who contend for the realm, and the bare faces of humanity laid open, step into the great forest of this classic—the Zuo Zhuan.
