    Because the history is complicated, and the previous time may be biased, so it is more accurate to use the chronicle style.

    The Records of the Historian is the first general history of China written by Sima Qian. It records more than 3,000 years of history (philosophy, politics, economy, military, etc.) from the era of the Yellow Emperor in ancient legends to the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The "Records of the Historians" originally did not have a fixed title, or "Taishi Gongshu", or "Taishi Gongchuan", or "Taishi Gongchuan", also known as "Taishi Gong".

    "Historical Records" was originally a general name for ancient history books, and since the Three Kingdoms period, "Historical Records" has gradually become a special name for "Taishi Gongshu" from the general name of historical books. The "Records of the Historians" and the later "Book of Han" (Bangu), "Book of the Later Han" (Fan Ye, Sima Biao), and "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" (Chen Shou) are collectively known as the "First Four History". Liu Xiang and others believe that this book is "good at order and reason, argument but not flashy, quality but not slang".

    and Sima Guang's "Zizhi Tongjian" is called "the double of historiography".

    Zizhi Tongjian, a multi-volume chronicle edited by Sima Guang of the Northern Song Dynasty, with a total of 294 volumes, took 19 years to complete. Mainly based on time and events, it was written from the twenty-third year of King Weilie of Zhou (403 B.C.) to the sixth year of Zhou Shizong Xiande (959 A.D.) five generations later, covering the history of 16 dynasties and 1362 years.

    In this book, the editors summed up many lessons for the rulers to learn from, and Song Shenzong believed that this book "in view of the past, it has the ability to govern the way", that is, to use the gains and losses of history as a warning to strengthen the rule, so it was named "Zizhi Tongjian". There are 294 volumes of "Zizhi Tongjian", about 3 million words, and 30 volumes of "Examination of Differences" and "Table of Contents".

    Zizhi Tongjian is the first chronicle of China's general history, and occupies a very important position in China's official history books.

    First, first of all, we must understand that the methods of recording these two books are different, the chronicle is mainly based on the biography of the person, and the chronicle is mainly calculated according to this time.

    General History of the Chronicles...

    The difference between a chronicle and a chronicle.

    1 Chronology: Chronological arrangement: Chronological clues to arrange relevant historical events. Chronicles are time-centered, chronicling historical events in the order of year, month, and day.

    Because it is based on time and historical events, it is easier to reflect the connection between various historical events in the same period. 2 Biographies: Reflect historical events by narrating the activities of characters.

    The outstanding feature of the biographical history book is that it takes a large number of biographies of people as the central content, and is a further combination of words and accounts. From the perspective of the form of the genre, the biography style is a synthesis of the book, the family, the biography, the biography, and the table.
