English term or phrase: advance a discussion
La oración que no se muy bien como traducir es la siguiente: "By discussions, advanced by political reformers in various states of the Warring States period, the concept of "fa" was gradually defined as a counter-concept of "li" to mean rules that governed state institutions and maintained social order". Se trata de la historia de China en la epoca de la dinastia Zhou.
