Features: Professor Cen Zhongmian (1886-1961) was a renowned modern historian of China, dedicated his entire life to historical research. In fields such as the history of the Sui and Tang dynasties, pre-Qin history, ancient textual studies, Sino-Western relations and ethnic studies, as well as historical and geographical, he made outstanding contributions and was highly respected by the historical academia both domestically and internationally. The Ten Treatises in the current edition of the Book of Sui, totaling thirty volumes and originally titled Five Dynasties History Treatises, are separate works from the fifty-five-volume History of the Sui. Their dates and authors differ. Among the treatises that required significant effort, such as the Bibliography of the Sui Dynasty by Zhang Zongyuan and Yao Zhenzong, and the Geography of the Sui Dynasty by Yang Shoujing, are all masterpieces of their generation, needless to say.
