What's the difference between history and historical novels?
History, for short, refers to the history of human society. It is a discipline that records and explains a series of historical events in the process of human activities, and it is also a mapping of the present era in many cases. If it is only summary and mapping, then history as an existence should disappear. The problem of history is to discover the real past constantly, to speak with materials, and how people can become a negotiable problem in reality. History is an extension. History is the inheritance, accumulation and expansion of culture and the track of human civilization.

Historical novel is a novel form that takes historical figures and events as the theme and reflects life in a certain historical period. Full-length works can show the life outlook and historical development trend in a certain period. The main characters and events described in this kind of works have historical basis, but appropriate fiction is allowed. So although it can provide readers with some historical knowledge, its main purpose is to inspire and educate readers.
