Zou Yan was a native of Qi at the end of the Warring States Period. His date of birth is not recorded in detail in history. It is inferred that he was born around 324 BC and died in 250 BC at the age of 70. During his stay in Qi Xuanwang, Zou Yan studied in Xia Xuegong. As for what Zou Yan learned, Sima Qian had a deep understanding. He said that it was not Zou Yan's fault that later generations didn't notice Zou Yan's avenue and learned his tricks.

At that time, the imperial movement of King Qi Min later failed, and the form was very critical. Zou Yan came to Yan State. In order to meet him, Yan Zhaowang personally swept the floor for him with a broom, fearing that dust would fall on him, which shows how much Zou Yan was valued at that time. Zou Yan is mainly engaged in the development of production in Yan State. Later, Yan Zhaowang joined forces with other vassal states to cut Qi. Qi is the hometown of Zou Yan. Although he once left his hometown because of the ruler of Qi, he still loved his hometown very much, so he didn't and couldn't take part in this struggle.

After the death of Yan Zhaowang, King Hui ascended the throne, and his thoughts were completely different from those of Yan Zhaowang. He didn't trust the old minister of the previous dynasty, so he didn't think highly of Zou Yan, and Zou Yan was a neat man, so Zou Yan was changed.

At this time, the State of Qi was the reign of King Jixiang, and the prosperity of the past was restored, so Zou Yan returned to his hometown. After Zhao Yan War, his activities were not recorded.

At this time, Yan Zhaowang was recruiting talented people, and many talented people went to Yan State. Forced by reality, Zou Yan also went to Yan State.

After Yan Zhaowang's death, King Hui acceded to the throne. He and Yan Zhaowang have different views. First of all, he didn't trust the old minister of the first dynasty. Secondly, he didn't trust people from other vassal states, such as Zou Yan of Qi, so Zou Yan went back and forth to Qi. After Zhao Yan War, his activities were not recorded.

The date of Zou's death recorded in Historical Records is unknown, but it is inferred that Zou Yan was born in about 324 BC and died in 250 BC. Qin Shihuang was born in 259 BC, which means that Zou Yan had been dead for 9 years when Qin Shihuang was born, so they can't be in the same era.
