Abstract
Translator’s summary: The state of Zheng is the scene of a massive diplomatic and military standoff between the Central States and the state of Chu. The rise of non-Zhou states like Chu and Wu becomes an increasingly unavoidable reality, even as the Central States find it difficult to maintain unity. The inauguration of the Three-Army system in Lu portends the eclipse of the dukes by their leading grand officers.
