Intertextual analysis interrogates Confucian dialogues such as "Lord Ai Asked" to trace inheritances and cross-textual relationships among early philosophical materials. New manuscript evidence from Warring States Anhui University texts contributes to understanding the formation and redaction of Analects-related sayings and variant Kongzi materials. Studies reconstruct ministerial roles from texts like Chi Jiu Zhi Ji Tang Zhi Wu and analyze Warring States verse-albums for genre, prosody, theme, and form. Ritual manuals and performance practices are examined through the *Ci Mamei manuscript from Zhangjiashan M336. Han administrative documents yield onomastic and administrative insights, while narrative lore and Analects readings receive philological attention.
