Twenty-four histories, the floorboard of twenty-four historical books written by ancient dynasties in China. It started in the legendary Yellow Emperor (2550 BC) and ended in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (1644), with a total of 32 13 volumes and about 40 million words. It was written in a unified biography style combining biography and biography.

192 1 year, President Xu Shichang of the Republic of China ordered the New Yuan History to be included in the official history, and together with the twenty-four histories, it was called the twenty-five histories. However, some people do not include the history of the New Yuan Dynasty, but list the draft history of the Qing Dynasty as one of the twenty-five histories. In other words, if both books are included in the official history, the "twenty-six histories" will be formed.

The history of twenty-four histories

During the Three Kingdoms period, society was called "three histories". "Three History" usually refers to Historical Records, Hanshu and Dongjian Hanji written by Serina Liu in the Eastern Han Dynasty. After the appearance of the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, it replaced the History of the Eastern Han Dynasty and was listed as one of the "three histories". Three History and History of the Three Kingdoms are collectively called "the first four histories".

There is also the name of "Ten History" in history, which is a general term for the history books of the Three Kingdoms, Jin, Song, Qi, Liang, Chen, Northern Wei, Northern Qi, Northern Zhou and Sui Dynasties. Later, the History of the Thirteen Dynasties appeared. The History of Thirteen Dynasties includes Historical Records, Hanshu, Houhanshu and Ten History.

In the Song Dynasty, on the basis of the thirteen histories, the history of the South, the history of the North, the book of the New Tang Dynasty and the history of the New Five Dynasties were added, forming the seventeenth history.

In the Ming Dynasty, History of Song Dynasty, History of Liao Dynasty, History of Jin Dynasty and History of Yuan Dynasty were added, which were collectively called "Twenty-one History". In the early years of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, the History of Ming Dynasty was published, and together with the previous history, it was named Twenty-two History. Later, the Book of the Old Tang Dynasty was added as Twenty-three History. Later, the History of the Old Five Dynasties compiled from Yongle Dadian was also included in the official history, which was decided by Emperor Qianlong and collectively called the Twenty-four History of King James.

The Twenty-four History of King James, which was carved in Wuying Hall from four to forty-nine years in Qianlong, is the most complete large-scale collection of China's ancient official history.

In ancient China, Twenty-four Histories were called "official history". The name of "official history" can be found in Sui Shu Jing Ji Zhi: "There are writings in the world, all of which are intended to be official history." After Emperor Qianlong signed Twenty-four Histories, the title of "official history" was exclusive to the Twenty-four Histories and gained the status of "orthodox" history books.

1920, ke shaowen wrote the new yuan history. In the tenth year of the Republic of China (192 1), President Xu Shichang took the New Yuan History as the "official history", and together with the Twenty-four History, it was called the "Twenty-five History". China is one of the countries that attach great importance to history in the world.

Our nation has a fine tradition of faithfully recording history, which makes our country save a lot of historical materials for thousands of years, which is incomparable to any country in the world.

This "Twenty-four History" was compiled and accumulated by historians from the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. This set of history books has a total of 3249 volumes and about 40 million words.

Its narrative time is more than 4,000 years, from the earliest historical records to the legendary Yellow Emperor, to the last Ming history to the Ming Chongzhen in 17 (A.D. 1644), which can be said to be a relatively complete and systematic "chronicle" of China.

The Twenty-four History is very rich in content and contains a lot of historical materials. It not only records the deeds of economy, politics, culture, art, science and technology in past dynasties, but also reflects the class struggle of society and part of people's real life in twists and turns. The materials about the internal contradictions of the ruling class are even more obvious.

Although twenty-four histories have many advantages, they are written by feudal historians and have many problems. After Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty banned private history compilation, the compilation of history books was completely in the hands of the government. The imperial court has a history of official training, which is generally supervised by the prime minister of the dynasty. Therefore, the phenomenon of eulogizing the emperor's literary talent and martial arts, ignoring the role and achievements of the people, distorting the truth of class struggle, vilifying the image of the leader of the peasant uprising, and praising and criticizing figures with feudal moral standards abound. Feudal dynasties tried to consolidate their rule by compiling history.

The historical materials in Twenty-four Histories were selected by the feudal ruling class, and some of them were even distorted and tampered with. When we use these materials today, we must be careful and analyze and criticize them.
