Historical records and the common story of 5,000 years up and down

The Records of the Historians and "Five Thousand Years Up and Down" are both very famous historical works in Chinese history. The difference between the two is that the former is a Han Dynasty history book, written by Sima Qian; The latter, on the other hand, is a general history of modern China, written by Li Bo.

Historical records are the first general history of China. In the book, Sima Qian describes and analyzes the political, economic, military, cultural, scientific and technological aspects of ancient times, interspersed with a large number of ancient documents, poems, and legends. Historical records are known as"The swan song of the historian, the rhyme of the separation", because the text it contains is extremely artistic and has high cultural value.

Five Thousand Years Up and Down is a relatively recent work in the general history of modern China. This book mainly narrates the history and evolution of the Great Branch of Li Shiji. It is chronological and chronicle, with a greater focus on the timing and sequence of events.

In addition to historical events, the book also covers geography, population, ethnicity, culture, and more.

Although the two are written differently, they have in common that they both provide a comprehensive description and analysis of Chinese history. Historical records are more inclined to narrative literature and contain a lot of ancient cultures. "Five Thousand Years Up and Down", on the other hand, pays more attention to the narration of historical events and chronology.

Both of these books show us the long and magnificent history of China, allowing us to better understand and understand the Chinese culture and nation. <>

Similarities:The Historical Records and the Five Thousand Years are all historical categories, and they tell the history of China.

Differences

1. The historical records were written by Sima Qian based on the previous history (before the Western Han Dynasty), written in the Western Han Dynasty, and the content involves about 3,000 years of history; The 5,000 years were written by Cao Yuzhang and written in 1979 (that is, the early days of reform and opening up), covering about 5,000 years of history.

2. The writing of historical records belongs to the official history, the content is comprehensive (high credibility), and there are many innovations in the writing (such as the biography). Sima Qian will have some comments at the end of the article. Generally speaking, it is an important material for the study of history, and its status is very high; The Five Thousand Years is a children's book, and the content is a part of the history (there are legends, there is history).

It's a little more educational.

The historical records are from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, up and down 5,000 years, but 5,000 years, the time is longer than the historical records.

However, historical records give an important reference for the upper and lower 5,000 years. After all, it is the swan song of the historian, and the rhyme is divorced.

At the same time, the historical records are biographical.

"Historical Records" is a historical book written by Sima Qian, a famous historian of the Western Han Dynasty, which is the first general history of Chinese history, and is listed as the first of the "24 histories", recording the history of more than 3,000 years from the era of the Yellow Emperor in ancient legends to the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Together with the later "Book of Han", "Book of the Later Han", and "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", it is called the "First Four History".

The upper and lower 5,000 years are from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to modern times. More than 2,000 years, of course different.

Upstairs, you're complicating the question, and you're not answering it right! In fact, there are two biggest differences between the two books: first, "Historical Records" is an official history, and its content can be used as an argument, "Five Thousand Years Up and Down" is the majority of wild histories, accounting for more than 90%, and its content can only be used as a talking point after dinner; Second, "Historical Records" is a biography of characters written by the Western Han Dynasty, and "Five Thousand Years Up and Down" is a collection of vernacular short stories written by modern people.
