Chai Degeng, whose real name is Qingfeng, is from Zhuji, Zhejiang. In junior high school, I studied under Mr. Cai Dongfan, and later under Mr. Chen Yuan, a master of history from Beijing Normal University. He has taught in Fu Jen Catholic University, Baisha National Women's Teachers College, Beijing Normal University and Jiangsu Normal College as a librarian and head of the history department. He presided over the compilation of historical materials of the Revolution of 1911 and participated in the proofreading of the history of the New and Old Five Dynasties. He has written many books, such as Examination of History Department, Introduction to Zi Tongzhi Jian, Examples of Historical Records, etc.
Good popular books.

Commentary on Historical Records 4
The book was printed in 2002, and the actual reprint version is 1982. The author died in 70 years, and the author's manuscript was compiled by others. Actually, it was a book more than 40 years ago.
I saw a copy of the pdf found on the Internet, which was complete, but it was slimmed down. The handwriting is blurred and hurts the eyes.
Since it is a summary of historical records, it is natural to list some important historical books and introduce them.
Introduce the history of 25 years, including history, history, history, history, history, history, history, history, history, history, history, history, history, history, history, history, history, history and history.
According to my standards, this is a popular or quasi-popular book, but the quality of the work is not bad, and the introduction is concise, which is still worth reading.
The ancients said that China's history books were written by many people since the Book of Jin. This is actually wrong. Although historical records are generally written by Sima Qian, some of them should be picked up by his father Sima Tan. The history of the Han Dynasty is more important. Ban Biao first began to organize, and then his son Ban Gu took over and wrote most of it. After Ban Gu's death, his sisters Ban Zhao and Xu Mo took over to write Eight Tables and Chronicles. The Book of the Later Han Dynasty is a comprehensive work, which consists of the works of Fan Hua and Sima Biao. The History of the Three Kingdoms is probably the only one written by a single person, but to be honest, it is a bit lame because he has no ambition.
After that, the twenty-four histories were basically officially revised and compiled by many people.
I only read the first four books of the twenty-four histories, but I read the details of the historical records, and I swallowed the rest. Basically, every book that introduces Historical Records is full of praise for this book, but rarely mentions the shortcomings of Historical Records. For various reasons, there are still many mistakes in this book.
I, a little lover of literature and history, can also cite several items:
For example, the lineage of the Yin Dynasty recorded in Historical Records is not entirely the fault of one or two people (Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Yin Ruins confirmed this).
For example, Su Qin and Zhang Yi are decades apart, but historical records regard them as classmates and peers (this is confirmed by the unearthed results of Mawangdui at home).
Su Qin, for example, was not the first to join forces.
Of course, when we talk about Historical Records, we have to talk about Han Shu. Since it was written, people have been comparing the advantages and disadvantages of the two books. When Han Shu first came out, most people thought that Han Shu was better than Historical Records, because its annotations were more detailed and its writing was not as casual as Historical Records, but most people thought that Historical Records was better than Han Shu, and it still is. Have you noticed that Historical Records became the first book of China's ancient history, and Hanshu was his follower? I remember that Bai Yang of Taiwan Province Province often turned against Hanshu immediately after praising Shiji, and met a yellow-faced woman with kannika nimtragol. Of course, this is especially true when he meets the records in Tong Jian.
Ban Gu likes to use the old saying at that time, which is more difficult, while Sima Qian likes to use the plain language (some people think it is the vernacular at that time, which is too much). The later Han books are even more difficult to read than the first historical records. I can easily read the original historical records, but when I read reading chinese's books, I feel like eating sand. ...
Biography of the Later Han Dynasty was written by Fan Hua in the Southern Song Dynasty. He was killed because of a political struggle. Now the chronology in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty was actually moved from Sima Biao in the Jin Dynasty. Sima Biao wrote the Book of Continued Han Dynasty. He originally wanted to write a dynastic history of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but what he didn't expect was that his book was used by later generations to make up for an afterlife more than one hundred years later.
Reflection, Chen Shou's reflection has always been famous for cherishing ink like gold. Many people say that Pei Songzhi's annotations are more than Chen Shou's original works, but in 1972, 1985 and 1990, different people counted different versions of "The History of the Three Kingdoms" (words are a little too many to think of). In fact, Chen Shou's original works are more annotated than Pei Songzhi's, but the number of words in different versions is not the same (it is common to lack thousands of words).
The History of the Three Kingdoms was bought and read by Yi Zhongtian when he was talking about the Three Kingdoms. The Yuelu Bookstore Edition, which consists of two volumes, does seem to have the illusion that there are more annotations than the original.
It's a pity that I haven't seen the reflection for so many years. ...
