Features: The Shangshu was originally titled Shu, a compilation of historical documents from ancient China and some works recounting historical events. It is also the earliest extant historical document in China. According to the Book of Han·Bibliography, the Shangshu was compiled by Confucius, consisting of one hundred chapters, covering content from the legendary Emperor Yao to the Duke Mu of Qin during the Spring and Autumn Period. Chronologically, it can be divided into four parts: Yushu (Emperor Yao's Book), Xashu (Emperor Shun's Book), and Zhoushu (Zhou Dynasty's Book). Since the Shangshu was included by Confucianism as one of the classics, it is also known as the Book of Documents. The Shangshu holds a very important position in ancient Chinese classics. Since it was established as an official subject in the Han Dynasty, it has been highly revered and became one of the most important textbooks in the feudal society. There have been many commentaries on the Shangshu throughout history, but the Commentary and Explanation of the Modern and Ancient Writings of the Shangshu by Sun Xingyan of the Qing Dynasty is particularly noteworthy. Additionally, the Translation and Annotation of the Shangshu by Zeng Yundian and the Colloquial Shangshu by Zhou Bingjun are also highly regarded.
