About This Novel
Why does Chinese historiography attach great importance to narrative? How does Chinese historiography influence Chinese narrative tradition? This book is based on the formulation and application of the terms, concepts, and propositions of "narrative" in Chinese historiography. It takes four interconnected historical masterpieces - "Hanshu", "Hanji", "Houhanji" and "Houhanshu" - as the object of analysis. It starts from ancient China. The narrative experience of dynasty history, which is the backbone of historiography, explores the prominent style of narrative in ancient Chinese history books that emphasizes "things", focuses on "people", seeks "beauty", and uses "meaning", and reveals the path and mainstream of theoretical reflection on narratives in ancient Chinese history books.
