Spring and Autumn, the interpretation is the Spring and Autumn period of struggle for hegemony. In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a theory of "Five Hegemons". The order of "Xunzi Wang Ba" is: Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Wen of Jin, King Zhuang of Chu, King Helu of Wu, and King Goujian of Yue. The order of "Five Uncles" in "Customs of Customs" is: Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Wen of Jin, Duke Mu of Qin, Duke Xiang of Song, and King Zhuang of Chu. In addition to Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Wen of Jin, and King Zhuang of Chu, who are always in the order of overlords, historians continue to debate and question whether Duke Mu of Qin, Duke Xianggang of Song, King Helu of Wu, and King Gou Jian of Yue were overlords. Arguments and questions are in the judgment of the beholder and the wise. Although Duke Mu of Qin did not dominate the Central Plains, he dominated the Western Regions. It is understandable that he should be the overlord.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Central Plains countries despised the Qin State as Xirong... Qin Mugong ascended to the high ground of the hegemony of the Western Regions, but the Qin State was still not removed from the ranks of barbarians by the Central Plains countries... Qin Xiaogong requested to participate in the alliance of the Central Plains countries, but was rejected... Being despised and resisting contempt is a kind of motivation... This power energy is extraordinary. When it bursts out, it is not only bloody, but also bloody. ... Wisdom is bloody, strategy is bloody, governance is bloody, and war and attack are even more bloody... The world of the Warring States Period is not adapted to this kind of blood, and when adaptation and incompatibility are reconciled, blood is the winner, and the unification of China is inevitable... Qin State's "reform" to strengthen Qin State was a powerful country in the Western Regions during the Spring and Autumn Period, and stood on the stage of the Spring and Autumn Hegemony.
