The Chinese have always talked about the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, but what did these hegemons bring to the Chinese people? This question has never been answered. Qi Huangong's history of hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period is undoubtedly a vivid lesson - this is an era of great powers competing for hegemony, and its political landscape is the same as today. All great powers are working tirelessly for hegemony. Which one of economy, military, culture, morality and system is the key to the rise of a great power? Overlord Qi Huan will explain the meaning of "overlord" and teach us an interesting lesson. This book describes the life of Duke Huan of Qi, the first overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period. It tells how he won the throne, used Guan Zhong in an important position, worked hard to govern, respected the king and rejected the barbarians, and united the nine princes, making Qi a dominant country, which greatly changed the structure of China at that time and had a profound impact on later generations.

Ten years later, Tian He, the great-grandson of Qi State official Tian Chang, deposed Qi Kanggong, destroyed Qi State's duke family, and established himself as the king of Qi State. As a result, in the land of China at this time, there were Qin State in the west, Qi State in the east, Yan State in the north, Chu State in the south, and Zhao, Han, and Wei in the middle. The situation of seven warring states vying for supremacy was officially formed. The Warring States Period began.

The protagonist of this book is Duke Huan of Qi - I don't want everyone to mistakenly think that this is a novel once I mention the "protagonist". The author will not be presumptuous and will slowly explain this "glorious era, glorious people" to everyone using words that are not too verbose.
