Features: During its millennium-long popularity, the academic and social value of Zizhi Tongjian has been recognized by an increasing number of people. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, especially since the reform and opening-up, various versions of Zizhi Tongjian have emerged in abundance, but those of high quality are rare, truly "few and far between." However, a significant portion of these versions are carelessly produced and irresponsible, either taking excerpts out of context or making arbitrary annotations, misleading readers. Many readers wish to read historical books but are constrained by limited time, or they want to understand history but face language barriers. This version is perfectly suited for such readers.
This book is part of the Guangming Color Books series, a key project of the Guangming Daily Press Publishing House, and belongs to the Timeless Classics of China series. The compilers have selected the essence of Zizhi Tongjian and organized it into eight major parts: Warring States, Unification of the World, Chu-Han Conflict, The Han Dynasty, The Three Kingdoms, The Northern and Southern Dynasties, The Prosperity of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Through a clear structure, concise language, innovative layouts, and exquisite illustrations, the book aims to present this monumental historical work in a comprehensive and three-dimensional manner, creating a colorful path for readers to learn history, clarify their aspirations, and pass on civilization. It not only helps readers acquire knowledge effortlessly but also provides them with a broader cultural perspective, aesthetic enjoyment, imaginative space, and a pleasant reading experience.
