Research on Chunqiufanlu·Zhi Yu "21st year"

Judging from the edition and the first day of each lunar month regarding the record of 21st in Chunqiufanlu·Zhi Yu,it can be concluded that errors do exist,from which misinterpretations have been conducted.However,these problems will never affect its historical value with its uniqueness in concluding the year of Dong Zhongshu's writing Tian-Ren San Ce.Coupled with Shih Chi and Hanshu,it serves as strong evidence supporting the view that Tian-Ren San Ce was written in the first year of Yuanguang.In the meanwhile,it is a scarce piece of chronological record of a kingdom in Han Dynasty's Confucian works.It symbolizes the status of the leuds and reflects the fact that conventions and ideology lagged behind the transformation of political system at that time.
