The most comprehensive book recorded in ancient books.

There are many historical books about the history of China, among which Historical Records is the most authentic and authoritative. Historical Records is a biographical history book written by Sima Qian, a historian of the Western Han Dynasty. It is the first biographical general history in the history of China, recording the history of four years and more than 3,000 years from the legendary Huangdi era to Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty.

However, due to the long history, the authenticity of some historical books remains to be verified. For some historical events and figures, different history books may be different. Therefore, when reading history books, we need to refer to and compare with various books in order to obtain more comprehensive and accurate historical information.

Besides Historical Records, there are other historical books which are also important reference materials for studying the history of China. For example, Spring and Autumn Annals, Zuo Zhuan, Han Shu, and later Han Shu, The History of the Three Kingdoms, etc. These books are historical books carefully researched and collated by the author, which have made important contributions to the record and inheritance of China history.

It should be noted that the authors and compilers of history books are subjective and limited, so different history books may describe the same historical event or person differently. Therefore, when reading history books, we need to keep an objective and cautious attitude and compare with various books in order to obtain more comprehensive and accurate historical information.
