Together with "Historical Records", "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" is regarded as the pinnacle work of history. It is a desk book that emperors and important ministers of all dynasties have read tirelessly. It records the major historical events that have occurred in dozens of regimes and dynasties for more than a thousand years since the Warring States Period. In the opinion of Sima Guang, the author of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", the honors and disgrace of countless emperors, generals, ministers, and romantic figures are enough to be compiled into an all-encompassing "textbook" for governing the country.
This book starts from the beginning of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" and lists the winning ways or failures of more than a dozen emperors, thereby analyzing the governance strategies of ancient society in compliance with laws, balancing power, limiting selfish desires, long-term planning, etc. Nobility and virtue have real significance in every era, and the focus is on how to use them. Regardless of whether the emperor or his ministers, they can only achieve success in the present by learning from history. This is also inspiring to people in today's society, because reading history can not only understand the essence of traditional Chinese culture, but also provide support for ancient wisdom and experience in life.
