Features: Zhenguan Zhengyao was compiled and edited by the famous Tang Dynasty scholar Wu Jing, divided into ten volumes. It extensively records the speeches of Emperor Taizong of Tang and his ministers. It is primarily a-style book, covering topics such as politics, systems, personnel, teaching and advising descendants, discussing the principles of how to be a person and act, exploring academia, and even personal life issues. This book was compiled around the early 8th century during Emperor Xuanzong's Kaiyuan era, not long after the death of Emperor Taizong. At that time, historical materials were preserved, and books were abundant, allowing Wu Jing to gather and transcribe them. As a result, this book is not only a treasure of traditional Chinese political discourse but also a fundamental historical source for studying early Tang Dynasty history.
