Historical Records (Classic Original Version)

This biographical general history is "the swan song of historians". It records more than 3,000 years of history from the ancient Yellow Emperor to the Taichu reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It is divided into five parts: epochs and aristocratic families. It is based on the purpose of "studying the relationship between heaven and man and understanding the changes in ancient and modern times." The characters are vividly depicted, the narrative is concise, and it has high historical and literary value. It is a model for the compilation of history books for later generations.
