The "Vernacular Hanshu (Vernacular Complete Translation in 4 Volumes)" compiled by Ban Gu introduced that "Hanshu" complied with the requirements of the times and pioneered the method of narrating history through chronological history, and the style was followed by later generations. The "Ten Records" in "Hanshu" not only describe the economic system and social production conditions at that time, but also describe the geographical conditions of the territorial political regions, as well as ancient natural science and ancient academic thoughts, which greatly expanded the field of historical research. "Hanshu" has about 800,000 words, and its volume is more extensive than "Historical Records", and it retains a large number of important historical documents. "Hanshu" has strong feudal orthodox thoughts and strives to maintain the prevailing feudal theological ruling thoughts at that time. It is more in line with feudal orthodox thoughts than "Historical Records".
Reader comments
It's a good read to learn about the history of the Western Han Dynasty
Just like the great ancestor Liu Bang, his legendary experience amazed me. Especially when the book describes what he said when he saw Qin Shihuang on tour, "Hey, that's what a man should be like!", I can feel his ambition. This book also gave me a deeper understanding of the society of that era, just like the description of the economic system and social production conditions in the book, which reminded me of today's life. In short, "Vernacular Hanshu" is a good book worth reading!
The content is detailed and I learned a lot, thank you.
Han Xin and Han Wangxin, did the author of the translation not understand them clearly? !
I haven't finished reading it yet, but I'm just reading it as a reference. The vernacular version is easy to understand.
