"Tongjian" was completed by Sima Guang, and the co-cultivators were Liu Shu, Liu Chu, and Fan Zuyu.

Liu Shu is well-read and strong, from the "Historical Records" to the following histories, and private notes and miscellaneous stories, read everything, and the discussion and compilation of the "Tongjian" is the most vigorous. Liu Chu and Fan Zuyu have studied the history of the Tang Dynasty.

They have worked together and made important contributions. Finally, Sima Guang revised and polished the final draft.

Among them, right and wrong are taken away, and one is out of the light.

The Tongjian is extremely rich in historical materials, and in addition to the 17 histories, hundreds of miscellaneous historical books are cited.

The narrative in the book is often written in several materials. In case of discrepancies in the years and deeds, they are all examined, and the reasons for the choice are indicated, which is considered to be "Examination of Differences". "Tongjian" has a very high historical value, especially the "Sui Period", "Tang Period" and "Five Dynasties Chronicle" historical data value is the highest.

Because Sima Guang carefully finalized and unified rhetoric, the "Tongjian" has beautiful words, vivid narrative, and quite high literary value, and has always been listed as the masterpiece of ancient historians along with the "Historical Records".

In addition to the narrative, 97 historical commentaries of predecessors were also selected, and 118 historical commentaries were written in the form of Chen Guangshu, which reflected the author's political and historical views in a concentrated manner. Adopting a critical attitude toward historical religious superstitions such as diagrams, divination, and Buddhism is an important progress in historiography.

After the completion of the book "Tongjian", in the eighth year of Yuanfeng, Fan Zuyu, Sima Kang, Huang Tingjian, Zhang Shunmin, etc. were ordered to re-proof, and the first year of Yuanyou (1086) was completed, and it was sent to Hangzhou for engraving, and it was printed in the seventh year of Yuanyou. Imoto Yuben is no longer visible.

In the second year of Gaozong Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a re-engraved copy of Yuyao, and many of them were incomplete. Zhonghua Book Company republished the Yuan edition based on the Yuan edition engraved by Hu Kejia in the Qing Dynasty, punctuated and proofread, and republished it, which is a better version of Tongjian.

······

In fact, all dynasties have versions of Zizhi Tongjian.

In modern times, there are also books on the "Zizhi Tongjian", but they are not antiques.

It's a modern work of art.

The Zizhi Tongjian in Zhou Ye's hands is the real ancient text of the Song Dynasty.

It's precious.

This thing is not for sale.

If it is really sold, I believe that many museums will be interested.

Although the Forbidden City Museum is the boss, there is no rule that other museums can't fight for it.

I believe that when the time comes, the threshold will definitely be broken.

But Zhou Ye is not for sale.

Of course, there is no mistake in the general knowledge of information governance.

According to the investigation of modern scholars, there are many errors in the general knowledge of Zizhi.

Although the "Zizhi Tongjian" is praised as "rigorous in style, clear in context, grand in scope, large in body and thoughtful, rich in historical materials, detailed in research, detailed in narrative, and appropriate in complexity and simplicity", there are also many errors in the "Zizhi Tongjian" itself, such as the historian Yan Gengwang pointed out that the "Zizhi Tongjian" is wrong in the order of the 28 generals of Yuntai; the two "Tang Books" mistook "special service" for "Teller", and the "Zizhi Tongjian" did not correct this, and the mistake was wrong, "Zizhi Tongjian" volume 164: " Tumen called himself Ili Khan, his wife was called Kehedun, and his children were called Teller. "

"Tongjian Examination of Differences": "The books may be used as special services, and now from Liu Yun's "Old Tang Book" and Song Qi's "New Tang Book".

Gao An Chen Ruqi believes in "Four Treatises on the Book of the Chief of Chen's Ganlu Garden" that the "Zizhi Tongjian" will only see the official history of Yang Guifei and An Lushan in the history of Zhuye and lose the objectivity.

Another example is the Tang Dynasty eunuch Yu Hongzhi, the "New Tang Book" Qiu Shiliang Biography as "Yu Hongzhi", the "Old Tang Book" is occasionally mistaken for "Yu Zhihong", the "Zizhi Tongjian" volume 245 is the ninth year of the ninth year of the November Ren Shu as Yu Zhihong, and the "Zizhi Tongjian" volume 246 is the first month of the fifth year of the opening of the first month of Ji Mao and the Yu Hongzhi, which is confused with each other.

The Book of Jin contains Lü Guang's first era name "Tai'an", while the "Zizhi Tongjian" records it as "Da'an".

Another example is that there are many inappropriate ways to record the year of "Zizhi Tongjian", such as the time of Qi people cutting Yan (313 BC), Sima Guangshe's "Historical Records" of the chronicle, not according to the "Chronicle" detailed examination, only increase the ten years of King Qi Wei, and reduce the ten years of King Qi, in order to be the same as the "Mencius" record of the deeds of King Qi Xuan's war against Yan, Zhu Xi of the Song Dynasty is considered to be the tenth year of King Qi Xuan, according to today's research, it is actually the seventh year of King Xuan of Qi, and there are many errors in the other Le Yi War.

Another example is that the Zizhi Tongjian recorded many mistakes in the itinerary of Emperor Yang of Sui's western tour, and the time from Zhangye to Yanzhi Mountain after June 23 was advanced to the day when King Gaochang arrived in Zhangye on June 17.

The list goes on.

After all, the more words you have, the more mistakes you make.

Many of the contents in the Zizhi Tongjian are hearsay, such as "Wang Mang poisoned Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty", which is a rumor fabricated by the rebels in the last years of Xinmang, and it is very irresponsible to write it as a letter history by Sima Guang and others.

Cen Zhongmian also wrote "Tongjian Sui and Tang Chronicles Questioning", claiming to correct the fallacies of "Tongjian", a total of more than 670 articles.

Of course, although there are many shortcomings, the contribution of the general knowledge of information to mankind is unavoidable.

······

In addition to the Zizhi Tongjian, there are also some Buddhist scriptures.

Especially in overseas auctions, he got several lost scriptures from the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, which were bought by Zhou Ye at a large price.
