About This Novel

The purpose of Sima Guang's compilation of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" is to "Zi Zhi". All important events and figures related to the rise and fall of the country and the stakes of the people are described in detail. However, matters and people that have nothing to do with the national economy and people's livelihood, such as numerous literati and high officials, are not mentioned. It records people and events with clear principles, and has been enjoyed by emperors, ministers and scholars of all ages. Sima Guang lived in an era that was more than 900 years ago. The classical Chinese at that time was far different from the vernacular used today. Therefore, many modern people give up reading it because they find it difficult. In view of this, in the early 1980s, Taiwanese scholar Mr. Huang Jinhong took the lead and gathered the efforts of 27 famous professors from Taiwan universities. It took three years to translate this great work into vernacular, which is deeply loved by readers in the Chinese world.
