Person is the most subtle cultural carrier, person of Lu shared thoughts andfeelings accumulation as a cultural symbol, and depth to the blood and soul of thedescendants, to become the cultural spirit of generations. This article by collectingand studying "Zuo Zhuan", to examine obscure and complex inner world ofcharacters of the State of Lu, to restore the vivid image of them, and expect to refineand deepen push the Lu cultural studies.The text is divided into six chapters. The first chapter discusses the Lu domesticgovernance and diplomacy in "Zuo Zhuan". It experienced monarch’s rightsgradually weaken and nobility became mighty and autocratic process. State of Lulack the energetic wise monarch, Assassination of the monarch, murder inheritor,banish monarch accelerated the decline of national power. In nations competehegemony era, because nobility hereditary system, no progress, no respect for talent,the conservative leaders still followed the old practice, vain attempt maintainpolitical stability, no enterprising spirit, unable to contend with the powers.Moreover, Geographic advantages lead the State of Lu without progress andexpansion, adversity caused supremacy, favoring situation causes conservative anddecline. State of Lu diplomacy can be divided into two aspects of Lu Exchange royaland Lu contact with other nations. The royal status decline and the relative decline ofthe State of Lu, led to the state of Lu just want protect itself and ignore the royalfamily. The diplomacy between Lu and other nations according to QiHuanGongdominance can be divided into two periods, early independence, and late attachmenthegemony. The second chapter discusses the Lu Cultural spirit of "Zuo Zhuan". Spring andAutumn troubled times, the royal family decline ceremony disintegration, Lubecame the largest ceremony Oriental vassal state. Lu etiquette of "Zuo Zhuan",showed the proficient about and maintains etiquette of Lu people. But Lu alsoexperienced Ceremony Disintegration, unauthorized ceremony move intensified. Theceremony of the State of Lu’s Spring and Autumn Period, has lost the ethos ofmaintaining social stability, maintenance of hierarchy level, but rather to formalminutiae. Lu advocating moral thought is reflected in the patriotic, respectfulhumility, the loyalty, filial piety, honest, Benevolence, advocating economizes. Bothfrom the natural environment and cultural origins, or the idea of running the countrydetermines the characteristics of the Lu culture is a farming culture, institutionallevel the Lu culture which has statically determinate, conservative characteristics,for the maintenance of social stability, but in the Spring and Autumn hegemonyPeriod era was untimely, Thus resulting in Lu gradually weaken. Go deeper,Confucianism only adapt in times of peace, and is not suitable for troubled times.But the scale of the country’s political decline can not be used as a cultural merits,the decline of Lu can not be denied ethics of moral, and cultural the etiquette of Lustill an excellent cultural reality, it breeds and nourishes in Confucian culture, impactlater, so Chinese become famous Etiquette country.The third chapter analyzes the image of the "Zuo Zhuan" Lu monarches.
