Features: Throughout 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, numerous versions of Zizhi Tongjian have emerged, but those of high quality are rare, truly "few and far between." However, a significant portion of these versions are irresponsibly rushed and poorly made, either cutting and splicing content or making reckless annotations, misleading readers. Many readers wish to read history books but lack the time, or want to understand history but are hindered by language barriers. This version is perfect for such readers.
This book is part of the Guangming Color Books series, a key project of the Guangming Daily Press Publishing House, under the Timeless Classics of China collection. The editors have selected the essence of Zizhi Tongjian and organized it into eight major parts: Warring States, Unification, Chu-Han Conflict, The Han Dynasty, The Three Kingdoms, The Northern and Southern Dynasties, The, and The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Through a clear structure, concise language, innovative layouts, and exquisite illustrations, this book aims to present the monumental historical work of Zizhi Tongjian in a comprehensive and three-dimensional manner, creating a colorful path for readers to learn history, clarify their goals, and pass on civilization. It allows readers to acquire knowledge effortlessly while providing them with a broader cultural perspective, aesthetic enjoyment, imaginative space, and a pleasant experience.
