Aspects of the Lw-shr Chun/Chyou
The Transition from War to Unification

These papers continue the examination of the Lw-shr Chun/Chyou text that was begun in the parallel AAS panel Converging Toward Empire. They have a more philological focus, and give special attention to the insights that may be gained by regarding the text's three major divisions (Ji, Lan, Lun) as three different compositional impulses, to only the first of which (the 12 Ji chapters) the postface date of c0239 applies. The relations between the LSCC and other texts, which have always been a focus of interest with LSCC, are also explored. Some of the outside texts considered are earlier than LSCC (a prototype of one of the six texts which was later conflated to make the Jan-Gwo Tsv) and some are later later (the Shwo Ywaen collection of late Han), showing the LSCC as both sensitive to the literature of its own time, and suggestive for the literature of later times.

There will be a brief period for audience discussion after each paper.
