What reference books should I prepare for reading Historical Records? I am going to start with the revised version of the traditional vertical version.

The Dictionary of Common Words in Ancient Chinese written by Jiang (the title is typed from memory) or the Ancient Chinese written by Wang Li (the traditional Chinese characters are horizontal, so don't buy them if you don't understand them) can solve the interpretation problems of most classical Chinese words. There is also Wang Li's "Common Sense of Ancient Literature" (the name is typed from memory, please forgive me for mistakes) to solve common cultural common sense. Wang Li's ancient prose is accompanied by a star map (a comparison between ancient and modern times), or buying a book on the basis of ancient calendars can solve some knowledge of astronomical calendars and ensure that you can understand the astrology left by Mars in Antares and the official books.
