We'll be happy to answer your questions. The "Complete Translation of the Twenty-Four History" you are talking about is a key book in the national "Tenth Five-Year Plan" publishing plan, and the national translation of "The Twenty-four History". It took 13 years from 1991 to 2003.

The investment is 50 million yuan. After 13 years of struggle, more than 200 experts from the Institute of Ancient Books of Peking University, Beijing Normal University, Fudan University and other universities, and more than 200 senior ancient books, proofreaders, and production personnel. The translation of the full text of 50 million words has been repeatedly revised, and the translation of each historical book has been revised more than three times as a whole.

Before publication, nearly 100 million words of ancient and modern texts were proofread 12 times. It's been a lot of work.

In other words, it is the most complete set of 24 histories organized and compiled by the state in contemporary times. Since it was compiled from 1991 to 2003 and written by many modern experts, it must be today's vernacular text! The ancient vernacular is only the popular language of the time used in the classical chapter hui style ** and other popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties, which is the vernacular text of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

So it's certainly not an archaic vernacular.

"Twenty-four History" is a general term for twenty-four historical books that record the history of various Chinese dynasties together. Originally, it was 24 independent history books, which were compiled one by one by Chinese historians in successive dynasties, and it was not an overnight achievement. After the name of "Twenty-four History" was determined, it was engraved together and published, and it has been passed down to this day.

"Twenty-four History" does not mean that there are twenty-four dynasties in Chinese history, and the history of China's dynastic changes can be expressed in a ballad:

Xia Shang and Western Zhou, Eastern Zhou are divided into two sections, Spring and Autumn and Warring States, one unification of Qin and Han, three Wei, Shu and Wu. Before and after the two Jin Dynasty, the north and south dynasties stood side by side, the Sui and Tang dynasties were passed down in five generations, and after the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, the dynasty was over.

Each history book records the history of China for a period of time, and some of the history books even summarize the rise and fall of several dynasties. The historical facts of the dynasties they narrate are connected before and after, and the events are arranged by year, like a long chain, stretching and converging into a relatively complete Chinese history.

The Twenty-Four Histories include the Records of the Historians, the Book of Han, the Book of the Later Han, the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, the Book of Jin, the Book of Song, the Book of Southern Qi, the Book of Liang, the Book of Chen, the Book of Wei, the Book of Northern Qi, the Book of Zhou, the Book of Sui, the History of the South, the History of the North, the Book of the Old Tang Dynasty, the Book of the New Tang Dynasty, the History of the Old Five Dynasties, the History of the New Five Dynasties, the History of the Song Dynasty, the History of Liao, the History of Jin, the History of the Yuan Dynasty, and the History of the Ming Dynasty. The content of the record begins with the legendary Yellow Emperor (about the beginning of the 30th century BC) and ends in the 17th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (1644); The compilation work began in the Western Han Dynasty and ended in the Qing Dynasty, and the compilation time span was more than 1,800 years. These 24 historical books, which were approved by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, are the "orthodox" historical books recognized by the rulers, that is, the name of the "official history" - the "24th History", which is precisely from this.

In the Twenty-Four History, the "Historical Records" records the history from ancient times to the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which can be said to be a general history. In addition to the "Records of the Historians", one history only records the historical facts of a dynasty or an era, which belongs to the category of dynastic history. The general history can see its development context, and the history of the dynasties can observe its details, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, and each has its own strengths.
