田和 / Tian He

田和 / Tian He appears in 《资治通鉴·周纪》08丨一代名将吴起惨死(2) as the 齐国 grandee whom the Zhou court formally recognizes as a ruler in 386 BCE, 周安王’s sixteenth year. The host notes that the decision had already been accepted earlier and that Tian He had already died by the time this formal notice appears, so the point is less personal action than completed recognition.

The page is source-scoped. It anchors the episode’s claim that annalistic recognition can matter even when the practical power shift and the actor’s life no longer line up neatly.

《资治通鉴·周纪》09丨战国时代的世界大战 continues the result of that transition. With 齐康公’s death, the source treats Jiang-line Qi as ended, while the Tian line continues through Tian-family Qi Huan Gong and 田英齐.
