About This Novel

This book is a multi-volume chronological history edited by Sima Guang of the Northern Song Dynasty. It mainly uses time as the outline and events as the headings. It was written from the 23rd year of King Weilie of Zhou Dynasty (403 BC) to the sixth year of Zhou Shizong's expedition to Huainan (959 AD) after the Five Dynasties, covering 1362 years of history in 16 dynasties. The editor summarizes many experiences and lessons for rulers to learn from, and uses historical gains and losses as warnings to strengthen their rule. Narrating historical events in chronological order, often using retrospective and concluding remarks to explain the causes and consequences of historical events, can easily give people a systematic and clear impression. Its content is mainly based on political and military historical facts, in order to show the history of monarchs and ministers in the past dynasties in managing chaos, successes and failures, and safety, as a reference for history. Describes the lives and struggles of people of all ethnic groups.
