Zizhi Tongjian

This book covers the epitome of China's 1362 years of history, culture, politics, economy, and characters. It is a historical masterpiece that is sufficient to understand China's political operations and power games. It is also a history book that ancient emperors can use to govern in light of the past. The thousand-year history of such a huge country is condensed into three million words. It is very difficult to understand it clearly. Only in this way can we truly have a deep understanding of this history. Chronology can separate complex historical facts into clear lines. Only by tracing back to the source can the origin, development, climax, and ending be clearly understood.
