The whole book not only maintains the essence of the original "Twenty-Five Histories", but also absorbs the new results of modern historical research, especially archaeological discoveries. Mainly based on "Ji", "Chuan" and "Aristocratic Family" derived from old history, supplemented by "Shishi" that reflects the outline of history, "Zhi" that expresses the political system, economy, culture and social life of each dynasty in the form of special history, and "Table" that records the inheritance of dynasty and imperial lineage, show the process of Chinese history from multiple angles and intertwined latitude and longitude.
Reader comments
This book is very good! It is comprehensive in content, not only containing the essence of the original "Twenty-Five Histories", but also incorporating many new research results. Reading it is like having a dialogue with history, giving me a clearer understanding of each dynasty. Especially the "Zhi" and "Table" inside are novel in form and made my eyes shine. However, I hate those rebellious ministers and traitors who usurp the throne the most. It makes my teeth itch to see them! This reminds me of Cao Cao in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", what a traitor! In short, this book is worth reading. Friends who like history should not miss it.
Detailed style, modern language, no reading difficulties
