	Sanguo Zhi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At the time Wei and Wu both had their own histories and it was with these works as basis that Chen Shou began work.
		The work collects the smaller histories of the rival states Wei, Shu and Wu into a single text and provided the basis for the later more popular historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
		Since Shu lacked a history of its own, data was compiled by Chen himself.

	Talk:Twenty-Four Histories - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The compiler of the Song, Liao and Jin Dynasty histories should probably be listed also by his Chinese name Tuotuo (脱脱）--(there's currently only a Chinese page for him)-- and Ou Yangxiu should be Ouyang Xiu and link there.
		I don't know what it is either, but it is linked from History of China and List of China-related topics, so it apparently has something to do with the history of China (or "traditional history", since it's redirected from there).
		The bottom of the page seems mislabelled; those aren't related books, those are cases in which a single compiler was unable to complete the history (usually before his death) and the task was passed on to others, sometimes his children.

	'24 Histories' Translated into Modern Chinese - China History Forum, online chinese history forum
		A "New History of the Yuan" 《新元史》 was also written in the ROC period, and I've seen it included as a 26th history in a CD set of the official histories.
		This is of course, a canon used during Qing (official histories are usually about previous times.) After Qing fell, traditional learning was abolished, and I guess because of that the ROC and the scholars no longer followed this traditional canonization of historical books, and didn't add a 25th history.
		China History Forum is an online chinese history forum, discussion board or community for all who are interested in learning and discussing chinese history from prehistoric till modern times, including chinese art of war, chinese culture topics.

		Four years later, when twenty-four years of age, he made another attempt, only, however, to be once more rejected.
		At length, a joint attempt on the part of seven States, aided by two Mongol chieftains, was made to crush him; but, although numerical superiority was overpoweringly against him, he managed to turn the enemy's attack into a rout, killed four thousand men, and captured three thousand horses, besides other booty.
		Immediate measures were taken to suppress the Society, of which it is said that over twenty thousand members were executed, and as many more sent in exile to Ili.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2003.09.14
		Another problem about the accessibility of Histories I is the fact that the last books of the Annals have not survived, so that the backdrop of the notorious bellum Neronis is itself difficult to penetrate.
		The strongest such sections are where she extends her focus to include broader analysis beyond Tacitus, especially in her introductions to (a) Histories 1.4-11 on the chronological retrospective and geographical survey (98-100), which is particularly constructive in comparing Sallust's techniques, and (b) Histories 1.86 on supernatural phenomena (273-5), which uses Livy well.
		D.'s new commentary on Histories I is the latest Tacitean addition to the Cambridge series, which already includes R.H. Martin and A.J. Woodman's Tacitus Annals IV (1999 revised edition) and R. Mayer's Tacitus Dialogus de Oratoribus (2001).

		It is the finest edition of the Four Books which I have seen, in point of typographical execution.
		Next, there is a selection of approved comments, from a great variety of authors; and finally, the reader finds a number of critical remarks and ingenious views, differing often from the common interpretation, which are submitted for his examination.

	Military History Of China Encyclopedia Article, Definition, History, Biography
		Emperors who were warlike were usually opposed by their officials and condemned by history (examples include Qin Shi Huang, Yongle Emperor), while emperors who decisively moved from war to peace, and from military (武) to civil (文) values (such as Emperor Gao of Han) were correspondingly praised.
		One of the most important Chinese contributions to military history is the formula for gunpowder, which was known in Song times.
		Although legalism as political theory was discredited after the fall of the Qin Dynasty, it left the structure of an autocratic, centralised empire that remained the master institution of Chinese military history.

		Missing Masterpieces tells the stories of twenty-four such lost works, works which may yet resurface for all the world to see.
		Each tale is a slice of history, a reminder that a work of art does not exist in a vacuum, but rather, is product of, and subject to, the world's desires, flaws, and conflicts.

	Working Papers-Modernity inside Tradition: The Transformation of Historical Consciousness in Modern China
		Luo argued that China had witnessed four major historical periods since 1834: the age of confrontation, 1834-60; the age of submission, 1861-95; the age of entreaty, 1896-1919; and the age of revolution, 1920 to his time.
		In contrast to the Western idea of history in which the present organizes the past, in Chinese, history primarily means preserving records of the past.
		For Gu, though the history of high antiquity was questionable and could only be ascertained by archaeological discovery, it was still possible to pursue a new tradition through the history of later period.

	Remembering Nagasaki: Atomic Memories Discussion
		That is a horrible perversion of history and a dishonour to those who suffered at the hands of that enemy.
		My only conclusion could be that teachers, parents and indeed the rest of our adult population felt it was in someway their fault, that what had happened was an evil act by a superpower on a defenceless population, in a cruel demonstration of revenge tactics.
		My greatest fear during the Cold War was that some stupid politician would allow his memory of history to lapse would forget the profound horror associated with the use of such a weapon and actually use a nuclear missle as a way of "proving he meant business"-- flaunting his ego and his stupidity more like.

		As the first systematic Chinese historical text, it tremendously influenced Chinese historiography and prose, and is comparable to Herodotus and his Historiai.

	UNESCO Courier: Saintly sons and daughters: ancient China's enduring cult of filial piety
		A chapter is reserved for them in twenty of the twenty-four dynastic histories and countless separate collections are devoted to them, much like the "Lives of the Saints' that were so popular in Europe almost until modern times.
		The earliest examples of final extravagancesI have been able to find in the dynastic histories are taken from the Hou Hanshu, principally from Chapter 39, which is entirely devoted to filial sons and daughters and probably dates from the middle of the fourth century AD.
		Evidence of filial piety is also foundthroughout the earliest period of Chinese history, even though the character for filial piety, xiao, strangely enough, does not appear in the earliest writings, the oracle bone inscriptions.

		This overview of the contents of Herodotus' Histories is essentially based on Silvana Cagnazzi's article 'Tavola dei 28 logoi di Erodoto' in the journal Hermes 103 (1975), page 385-423, except for book three.
		Our division of Herodotus' Histories in nine 'books' goes back to an edition by third century BCE scholars, working in the great library of Alexandria.

	History for the Masses
		Each of the four half-hour episodes highlights one of the Party's Four Basic Principles, with a commentary and images that interpret the history of the past 150 years as a process leading to inevitable socialist victory in China.
		The episode is a meditation on the history of Beijing in the 20th Century, the subtext of which is a 'reflexive comment' on the events of 1989 by indirect reference to earlier historical events, dates and personalities.
		The years 1985-88 were, nonetheless, something of a watershed in terms of media representations of history due in part to Hu Yaobang's pronouncements and the appointment in late 1985 of Zhu Houze as head of the Party's organs of propaganda.
