1 See Olivia Milburn, The Glory of Yue: An Annotated Translation of the Yuejue shu (Leiden: Brill, 2010). Milburn provides a discussion of the likely authorship and dating of this text on pp. 37–52. She thinks it likely that the text was compiled from a variety of sources at the end of Wang Mang’s Xin Dynasty (9–23 CE) by two Eastern Han scholars, Yuan Kang 袁 康 and Wu Ping 吳 平. There are hints in the text itself that Yuan Kang may have been a native of Kuaiji.

2 The compiler of the Wuyue chunqiu, Zhao Ye 趙曄 (c. 40–100 CE), also hailed from Kuaiji, the erstwhile capital of the state of Yue, and served some time there as a government official.
