I read that Zuozhuan review on ACX and loved it, but my excitement plummeted after conducting more research. Seems like it’s all about successions and family drama and massive battles. What I really want is an exploration of a society in decay with a nuanced exploration of morality. What do you recommend? I’d lean towards nonfiction that places its focus on culture, economy, and social patterns rather than aristocratic affairs. Ideally a book that’s been widely studied, just like the Zuozhuan.
