Historical Records is the first general history of China. Before Historical Records, there were chronicles, such as Spring and Autumn Annals, national histories, such as Guoyu and Warring States Policy, and political histories, such as Shangshu, which were preserved in the form of proclamations. However, they did not last for thousands of years, covering all aspects, but were comprehensive and vivid as recorded in historical books.

The book Up and Down Five Thousand Years is a story-telling historical reading, which is divided into three volumes. This set of books, the author selects important and famous people and events, arranges and deletes them according to historical materials, and writes them in popular modern language, without description or fiction. Although the vividness of the plot is limited by historical materials; However, it is reliable and well-founded to let readers know about history.
