1. Chen Shou's History of the Three Kingdoms (Western Jin Dynasty)

Including Pei Songzhi's notes, the cited biographies such as Jiang Biao, Dian lue, Shu Wei, Wei lue, Wu Zhi, Fu Zi, Han Chun Qiu and Cao Zang have all been lost.

2. Wang Anshi (Northern Song Dynasty) "Zi Tongzhi Jian"

One of the most valuable is Hu Sansheng's annotation.

3. Liu Yiqing (Southern Song Dynasty) "Shi Shuo Xin Yu"

Excellent first-hand historical data, but you can't believe it 100% and need to analyze it.

4. Ye Fan (Southern Song Dynasty) "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty"

Some historical materials are supplements to the History of the Three Kingdoms, which records the events of Huan, Ling and Xian in the Three Kingdoms period in great detail. Moreover, it has completely increased the content of Continued Han Shu, so you don't have to read Continued Han Shu after reading it.

5. Justin (Eastern Jin Dynasty) "Later Han Dynasty"

This book has certain attainments for studying the ideology in Wei and Jin Dynasties.

6. Changqu (Sixteen Countries) "Huayang National Records"

The earliest and most complete local chronicles in China, which involved the palace secrets in Wei and Jin Dynasties.

7. Huangfu Mi (Western Jin Dynasty) Biography of Gao Shi and Biography of Nuwa.

Huangfu Mi, a medical scientist, is the founder of acupuncture, but he is also a famous scholar. Biography of Gao Shi and Biography of Women recorded many important deeds of the later Han Dynasty, because the historical materials written by people in this dynasty were very valuable.

8. Nine Books of Jin Dynasty

There are too many versions of the Book of Jin. Later, someone merged nine versions together, that is, Nine Books of Gold. I saw it last year, but the author can't remember it. It belongs to Zhonghua Book Company.

Modern scholarship

1. Lu Bi's Collection of Records of the Three Kingdoms, Annotation and Supplement of Collection of Records of the Three Kingdoms, Bibliography of Official Records of the Three Kingdoms and Modern Interpretation of Geography of the Three Kingdoms.

Lu Bi's things are the most systematic.

2. Lu wrote The Three Kingdoms of Lv Simian.

The evaluation is objective and of high value, which is a model for future generations to learn.

3. Zhang Zuoyao's Biography of Cao Cao

The existing two books, Biography of Cao Cao and Comments on Cao Cao, are the most authoritative books on Cao Cao.

4. Ma Zhijie's Romance of the Three Kingdoms

The most macroscopic works on the dynastic history of the Three Kingdoms are of great help to economic and cultural research.

5. Yu Tao's Prequel to the Three Kingdoms: The Dream of Heroes in the Late Han Dynasty.

I strongly recommend that this book is ingenious and logical, and can be compared with Lv Simian's works, but it can only be understood with a certain historical attainments.

6. Papers by Professor Tian Yuqing and Professor Gao Min.

One specializes in clan and the other in economy.

There are three people whose works are not credible!

Li Dongfang, Baiyang, Yi Zhongtian

What a great harm!
