He was born in an ordinary peasant family but had shown outstanding talent and leadership since he was young. When he was young, he once held an official position in the State of Chu, but because his loyalty and talent were not fully displayed, he eventually left the State of Chu and returned to the State of Qi. Guan Zhong had held many important positions in Qi, including the Prime Minister and the military commander. During his time as prime minister, he implemented a series of important political and economic reforms, which gradually made Qi strong. His policy of encouraging the production of heavy industry and luxury goods while limiting the development of light industry was considered one of the key reasons for Qi's economic prosperity. Guan Zhong also took a series of military measures to strengthen Qi's national defense. During the reign of Duke Huan of Qi, he led the Qi army to successfully resist the attacks from other countries and performed well in the war. Duke Huan of Qi thus became the first overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period, while Guan Zhong was known as the "First Prime Minister of the Spring and Autumn Period". Guan Zhong's talent and leadership were widely regarded as one of the best politicians of the Spring and Autumn Period. His ideas and achievements of reform had a profound impact on Chinese history.
