About This Novel
The historical stories narrated in this book span thousands of years. Because the author "summarizes the essentials and records the events" and collects "the general outline of saints and kings, loyal and traitorous people, into a compilation" and "all the origins follow the official history", he condenses the history of thousands of years of dynasty changes and historical events in vast historical records into a book of hundreds of thousands of words. After reading, people still feel that the story is coherent and the structure is compact, without any sense of loose plot, discontinuity or falsehood. The book gives detailed and vivid descriptions of some major influential historical events in each period, such as King Wu's defeat of Zhou, Qin's destruction of six kingdoms, the conflict between Chu and Han, as well as the founding of empires by emperors, and the chaos of government and harm to the people by cowardly kings and ministers. Yue Fei's resistance to the Jin Dynasty, King Chuang's entry into Beijing, the Boxer Rebellion against foreigners, and important peasant uprisings in the past dynasties are also described in traditional and simplified versions.
