Confucius lived in the late Spring and Autumn period and helped shape the Confucian tradition through teaching, ritual practice and discussions of humanity, virtue and learning.

杜甫（712—770）是唐代诗人，字子美，生于河南巩县；他的作品记录个人漂泊，也回应安史之乱前后的社会变化，后世以“诗圣”和“诗史”等称谓概括其影响。

Du Fu (712–770), courtesy name Zimei, was a Tang poet born in Gongxian, Henan. His writing joins personal displacement with the social upheaval around the An Lushan Rebellion, and later generations called him the Poet Sage while describing his work as poetic history.

王羲之（303—361）是东晋书法家，字逸少，曾任右军将军、会稽内史；其行书、草书与楷书传统影响深远，而今天认识他的书法尤其需要辨明原作、摹本、临本、刻帖与拓本。

His scripts became highly influential, but studying them today requires careful distinctions among originals, traced copies, freehand copies, engraved models and rubbings.

张骞是西汉使者，公元前 138 年奉汉武帝之命由长安出使西域；他的使命推动了汉朝对西域地理与政情的认识以及正式往来，但丝绸之路是更早已有交流、并由许多群体长期参与形成的交通网络。

司马迁是西汉史家，继任太史令并撰成《史记》；这部一百三十篇的纪传体通史以本纪、表、书、世家和列传组织传说时代至汉武帝时期的材料，但作者叙事、所引文献、后世注释与考古发现仍需分层阅读。

Sima Qian was a Western Han historian who succeeded to the office of Grand Historian and composed the 130-chapter Shiji. Its annals, tables, treatises, hereditary houses and biographies organize material from legendary antiquity to the age of Emperor Wu, but authorial narrative, cited records, later commentary and archaeology still require separate evaluation.

郑和（1371—1433）是明代使者与船队统领，1405 至 1433 年间参与统率七次远航，连接东南亚、南亚、阿拉伯海与东非港口；这些国家使命依托既有海上交通、船员协作和多地港口，不是一个人独自“发现”海洋。

Zheng He (1371–1433) was a Ming envoy and fleet commander who helped lead seven voyages between 1405 and 1433, linking ports in Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Arabian Sea and East Africa.

屠呦呦是中国药学家，20世纪70年代在全国“523项目”协作中带领团队从青蒿研究线索走向青蒿素的提取、验证与药物开发，并因发现治疗疟疾的新疗法获得2015年诺贝尔生理学或医学奖的一半；这是一条从传统文献启发到现代实验和临床证据的研究链。

Tu Youyou is a Chinese pharmaceutical scientist who led a team within the nationwide Project 523 collaboration from clues about qinghao to the extraction, testing and development of artemisinin in the 1970s. She received half of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for a novel therapy against malaria. The achievement is a chain from traditional textual inspiration to modern experimental and clinical evidence.
