Extended data:
The History of the Three Kingdoms written by Chen Shou, a historian in the Western Jin Dynasty, records the biographical national history of Wei, Shu and Wu in the Three Kingdoms period in China, which is one of the four great histories in the twenty-four histories.
At that time, there were historical records between Wei and Wu, such as Wei Lue, which was compiled by an official, and Wei Lue, which was written privately, and which was compiled by an official. These three books should be the basic materials for Chen Shou to stand on.
Shu has no official position in history, so it has only 15 volumes. However, the last book was written because of the official position. Therefore, the history of the Three Kingdoms is the product of cultural reintegration after the split of the Three Kingdoms.
The History of the Three Kingdoms was first circulated as a book and a book separately. It was not until the sixth year of Xianping in the Northern Song Dynasty (1003) that the three books were merged into one book.
The History of the Three Kingdoms is also the most special one in the twenty-fifth history, because it is too brief, and it does not record the lineage of princes and princes, nor does it record the ambitions in economy, geography, official position, etiquette and music, and legal calendar, which does not conform to the norms of general official history established by Historical Records and Hanshu.
