齐国 / Qi State

齐国 / Qi State appears in 《资治通鉴·周纪》06丨魏文侯选谁当宰相呢(2) as the state where 司马穰苴 receives command after 晏婴 recommends him to 齐景公. The source uses Qi primarily as the setting for talent recognition, status barriers, and military command reform.

The page also gives a home to existing Qi-related pre-Qin nodes such as 齐桓公 and 齐宣王, without claiming that this episode discusses those rulers directly.

《资治通鉴·周纪》07丨两起刺杀(2) adds a later annalistic notice: Qi attacks 鲁国 in 394 BCE and occupies Zui, contributing to the episode’s picture of quickening interstate conflict.
