Features: The Shangshu (Book of Documents), originally titled Shu, is a compilation of historical documents from ancient China and some works recounting historical events. It is also the earliest extant historical document in China.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: the Yushu (Book of Yu), the Xashu (Book of Xia), and the Zhoushu (Book of Zhou). Since the Shangshu was included by Confucianism as one of the classics, it is also known as the Shujing (Classic of Documents). The Shangshu holds a very important position in ancient Chinese classics. Since it was established as an official study text during the Han Dynasty, it has been 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 Shangshu Jinguwen Zhushu by Sun Xingyan of the Qing Dynasty is particularly noteworthy. Other modern works, such as Zeng Yunquan’s Shangshu Zhengdu (Correct Reading of the Shangshu), can also be referenced. In addition, the author has referred to Wang Shishun’s Shangshu Yizhu (Translation and Annotation of the Shangshu) published by Sichuan People’s Publishing House and Zhou Bingjun’s Baihua Shangshu (Colloquial Shangshu) published by Yuelu Book Society. This is specially noted.
