Features: During its thousand-year popularity, the academic and social value of Zizhi Tongjian has been increasingly recognized by more and more 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 high-quality versions are rare, truly "rare and precious." However, a significant number 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 short on time; they want to understand history but are hindered by 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 Publishing House under the Timeless Classics of China series. The compilers have selected the essence of Zizhi Tongjian and organized it into eight major parts: Struggle for Supremacy in the Warring States Period, Unification of the World, The Contest Between Chu and Han, The Han Dynasty, The Three Kingdoms Era, North-South Opposition, The Prosperity of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Period. Through a clear structure, concise language, innovative layouts, and exquisite illustrations, this book aims to present this monumental historical work in a comprehensive and three-dimensional manner, creating a colorful pathway for readers to understand history, clarify their goals, and inherit 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.
