What is a general history? What is the difference between general history and dynastic history and chronicle?

"General history" can be understood as a comprehensive history, which is the history of a country or region or the world from the earliest civilization to the present.

Difference:

1, different concepts.

The Chronological History is a historical book with dynasties as its boundaries.

General history is a historical book that describes the historical facts of each era coherently, which is just the opposite of dynastic history.

Chronicle is a chronological history book, and some chronological and chronological history books are dating back to the past. Some chronicles belong to general history.

2. Different recording methods

The general history records the historical facts that lasted for more than 3,000 years from the legendary Huangdi era to the Han Wudi era.

A historical book or style that records the history of a certain period or dynasty.

Chronicle, taking time as the center, records historical events in the order of year, month and day, which is the earliest and simplest method to compile history.

3, the record content is different

The narrative content of general history is extensive, and all important events and research topics (military, culture and art) are not involved in depth, but they all need to be involved. It is required to reflect the historical development context or run through clues in the narrative, giving people a holistic understanding.

The dynastic history is limited to dynasties or times and describes politics, economy and culture.

Chronicles mainly relate the events in the humanities and natural history with biographical factors every year.
