Guliang Chi was a native of the State of Lu and disciple of Confucius and Bu Shang. He transmitted the Spring and Autumn Annals to his students,[1] from which his notes then became the Guliang Zhuan.[2]

Names

Guliang Chi's name was a subject of debate for scholars. The name Chi 赤 comes from the Anthology of Cai Zhonglang [3] and the Book of Han.[4] Yan Shigu said that Guliang's personal name was Xi 喜, Ruan Xiaoxu said that his name was Shu 淑 or Chu 俶, and Wang Chong said that his name was Zhi 寘 in Lunheng.[1][2]

Influence

Little is known about Guliang's life outside of him transmitting the Spring and Autumn Annals as an educator.[1] Classical texts show that his commentary enjoyed considerable favour with the literati, with emperors such as Emperor Xuan of Han heavily promoting the text, and later educators, particularly from Guliang's home state of Lu teaching the thought within. The Book of Han mentions Duke Jiang of Xiaqu as studying the Guliang tradition,[5] who debated interpretation of the Spring and Autumn Annals with Dong Zhongshu, before Emperor Xuan of Han. Another individual, Cai Qianqiu, did the same, and was promoted. It was from these debates that the Guliang commentary was established and promoted by the Han dynasty.[4]
