"Zi Zhi Tong Jian" is a highly representative masterpiece of traditional Chinese history and an important resource for people from all walks of life to understand Chinese traditional culture and absorb historical wisdom. Hu Sansheng said: "If you are a ruler and do not know "Tongjian", you will want to govern but do not know the source of self-government, and you will cause chaos but do not know the art of preventing chaos. If you are a minister and do not know "Tongjian", then you will not be able to serve the emperor and your subordinates will be unable to govern the people. If you are a son and do not know "Tongjian", you will end up humiliating the first and not being able to follow behind. It is like using troops to conduct divisions, creating laws and establishing systems, and not knowing the reason why the ancients got it, Jian. The reason why the ancients failed was because they sought victory but lost, and sought profit and harm. This is inevitable. "This book takes the major themes of ancient Chinese governance as the main line, organizes selected articles in units, selects and compiles the narration of several major historical events in "Zizhi Tongjian", and provides detailed annotations and explanations. While highlighting Sima Guang's master's work, it also pays attention to the popularization of historical knowledge and the exploration of political wisdom.
