First of all, the difference between general history and dynastic history is like reading a book. General history is equivalent to the catalogue of a book, and dynastic history is equivalent to the detailed contents of the corresponding catalogue.

General history describes a comprehensive history, and its greatest function is to summarize. Detailed description is a description of the history of a country, region or world, and an introduction to the whole picture. The dynastic history only records the history of a certain historical period or a certain dynasty. The dynastic history is attached to the general history. For example, in the Han dynasty, things changed from feudal system to county system, so its historical significance was completely different from that of the previous generation in politics, economy and culture. At this time, we must summarize a general history, which plays a role in connecting the past with the future. ?

Secondly, reading the general history first and then the dynastic history can help you better absorb the essence of dynastic history.

We can't peek at the leopard, we can only like the local splendor. You know, all good things happen for a reason. If you don't read the general history, you won't understand where the real prosperity of your favorite history comes from, and you won't know what the destination is after this prosperity. The general history will focus on social forms, lifestyles and economic development. And the dynastic history will be based on local detailed historical records. The two complement each other. China's history and culture are profound and profound, and people can't fully understand them all their lives. In the end, they can only stay in the study of dynastic history, so it is necessary to read the general history first. ?

Finally: the origin of general history is earlier than that of dynastic history.

The origin of general history comes from the primitive society in the pre-Qin period. At that time, our ancestors created splendid history and culture, and passed on some historical stories through oral communication, which can be said to be the source of history. The genre of dynastic history originated from Historical Records of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it has been a long time.
