Chronicle to:Time is the center,It can clearly show the time when historical events took place, as well as the relationship between them. However, it cannot show a certain historical event in its entirety, so that some key historical figures are drowned in the vast river of history.

Country-specific entitiesPay attention to the record of real history, which is relatively objective, but each school has its own theories, and the ideological themes will be complicated. Moreover, because the records are recorded in each vassal state, it is inevitable that the historical events between the relevant countries will be recorded repeatedly.
