About This Novel
"Wen Xin Diao Long" is China's first systematic masterpiece of literary theory and a work of theoretical criticism. It was completed during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. "Shang Shu" is also known as "Book" and "Book of Books". It is a collection of multi-genre documents and has long been considered to be the earliest existing history book in China. However, the Tsinghua bamboo slips prove that the handed down part of "Shang Shu" (the pseudo "Old Wen Shangshu" part) is a forgery. The book is divided into "Yu Shu", "Xia Shu", "Shang Shu" and "Zhou Shu". During the Warring States period, it was generally called "Book", and in the Han Dynasty it was renamed "Shang Shu", which is the "book of ancient times". Because it is one of the Five Classics of Confucianism, it is also called the Book of Books. The content is mainly the decrees issued by the king when appointing officials or rewarding princes. The text in "Shang Shu" is very ancient and extremely difficult to read. To this end, we have carefully compiled the "Quanjian of Shangshu" and translated the full text into easy-to-understand vernacular to help readers understand the meaning of "Shangshu" and grasp the thoughts in "Shangshu".
