It seems that dong zhou lie guo is a work of fiction written
during Ming and Qing, whereas Zhan Guo Ce was discovered during the
Western Han, apparently we don't know the author.
So question is how much were those works influenced by the Shi Ji,
if at all. The Zan Guo Ce could be a pre-han work, in that case it
is older than Shi Ji.
By the way, Shi Ji is the first of the Twenty Five Histories of
China. It is the official record of history before the Han.
