The influential historical narrative Zuo Zhuan ("Commentary of Zuo") is traditionally attributed to him; as well as Guoyu ("Discourses of the States").[5][6] One tradition, according to the Records of the Grand Historian, holds that he was blind.[7]
In the Analects, Confucius complimented Zuo Qiu Ming's moral stance and conduct;[8] he also received praise for his academic contributions.[citation needed]
