(qing Dynasty) Wu Chengquan Et Al.

1.2M05

This book is a general history of China compiled by Wu Chengquan, a scholar from Shanyin, Zhejiang Province, and his friends Zhou Zhijiong and Zhou Zhican during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. Wu Chengquan and others thought that "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" was "too complicated to be memorized in its entirety", so they decided to compile a history book with a moderate length and a moderate amount of complexity and simplicity. The time span of "Gang Jian Yizhi Lu" spans from the ancient myths and legends to the Ming Dynasty. It organizes an outline of historical materials according to a determined style, directly narrates the historical facts of the past dynasties under the "gang", and forms a consistent chronological time clue under the guidance of a specific orthodox view. For people in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, it is a fairly complete, clear and easy-to-read general history of China.
