Wanjuanlou Chinese Classics (Collector's Edition): Historical Records

"Historical Records" is the first biographical general history in Chinese history. It records a history of more than 3,000 years from the Yellow Emperor era in ancient Chinese legends to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (122 BC). The author Sima Qian made "Historical Records" an immortal masterpiece with his historical knowledge of "studying the relationship between heaven and man, understanding the changes of ancient and modern times, and forming a family story". "Historical Records" has had a profound impact on the development of historiography and literature in later generations. His pioneering method of chronicling historiography was passed down by the "official histories" of subsequent dynasties.
