Four-character Guide: in Celebration of China's Five Thousand Years of History

Zhou Daoyun

18K0

This manuscript is arranged in chronological order, and sings out the influential figures and events in each period by historical dynasty. It uses "General History of China" as a reference. The listed figures and events are mostly based on historical records, and generally no comments are made. It adopts the form of four-character rhymes, draws on the rhyme rules of ballads, and mixes oblique and oblique rhymes. Each dynasty has the same rhyme to the end, without changing rhymes in the middle or repeating rhyming words.
