Comparing the records of "Xinian" with the records of "Zuozhuan" , it is concluded that the two records are consistent. But also found that its narrative angle and style are different. But, compared the record of this incident with the records in the "Bamboo Annals" and "Shiji" , and found that there was no deviation from the historical facts in the records of each family, and there was a problem with the angle of knowledge narration.
