The Spring and Autumn Annals (春秋 Chūn Qiū, also known as 麟經 Lín Jīng) is the official chronicle of the state of Lu covering the period from 722 BCE to 481 BCE.
In early China, "spring and autumn" was a commonly used metonymy for the year as a whole, and the phrase was used as a title for the chronicles of several Chinese states during this period.
Since the text of the Spring and Autumn Annals is terse and its contents limited, a number of commentaries were composed to explain and expand on its meanings.

Living a century later than Sima Guang, the creator of the universal history Zizhi tongjian "Comprehensive mirror for aid in government", he believed this eminent work not yet worthy enough to be an adequate successor of the Spring and Autumn annals.
