Fifty notes on the use of Zuo Zhuan, not only offer the explanations of how Chun Qiu was written, but also indications to readers on how to understand these two books.However, the abridgment of ZuoZhuan and the different narration between these notes and the classic has already drawn a lot of attention for centuries. This paper focuses on the inspection of how the death (zu 卒 or zang 葬)and names of feudal lords were recorded in Chun Qiu, to examine the relationship between their manor territories and Lu. It also compares the records in Chun Qiuwith the notes on the use of ZuoZhuan, and then explains the difference between these two. This paper points out that, although according to the notes on the use of ZuoZhuan, the death of feudal lords recorded as "zu" with their names on the record, should be of lords allied with Lu. Similarly, the feudal lords’ whose death were recorded as "zang" were also allied with Lu. However, a comparison ofthe alliances of Lu mentioned in Chun Qiu with history records showsthe existence ofa gap between their numbers. Therefore, this paper argues that the notes of the use of ZuoZhuan could be taken as a general guide to understanding the classic, and that is the reason why the notes cannot completely match the narration of Chun Qiu.
