Synopsis

"Historical Records" is one of the most famous classical books in my country. It is the first of the twenty-four official histories of ancient China. Since its publication, it has been highly praised by literati, emperors and generals of all dynasties. "Historical Records" had a profound influence on the development of historiography and literature in later generations, and its pioneering biographical method of historiography was passed down by the "official histories" of subsequent dynasties. It also pioneered biographical literature and occupies an important position in the history of Chinese literature.

Historical Category: Official Historical Novels

Historical novels are official history, not unofficial history. No matter which dynasty it is, the main thing is that it must be official history! Official history! Official history! Please, history is very useful to me.
