For a long time, because there was little documentation on Zuo Qiuming and "Zuo Zhuang" during the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, scholars of all dynasties have different views on Zuo Qiuming's name, time, place of birth, official position and works.

Zuo Qiuming, time of birth and death is unknown, is a historian, litterateur, thinker, essayist of the late Spring and Autumn Period. He was a historical official of Lu. He is said to be the author of "Zuo Zhuan" and "Chun Qiu". These two books recorded many important historical events of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Annals. Original materials of high value have been preserved. Due to detailed historical data and vivid writing style, it has aroused the interest and discussion of ancient and modern scholars at home and abroad. He was honored as the "Sage of History" and "Shi Zu", and both Confucius and Sima Qian honored him as a "gentleman".

Zuo Qiuming is the founder of Chinese traditional historiography. The historiography circle pushed Zuo Qiuming as the originator of Chinese historiography, known as "the ancestor of hundreds of characters, the ancestor of ancient literature". Zuo Qiuming's thoughts were similar to Confucian, reflecting the interests and demands of the people at that time.
