Sui Shu, written by Wei Zhi. Eighty-five volumes of the book, including five volumes of Emperor Ji, fifty volumes of biographies and thirty volumes of chronicle. Sui Shu was compiled by many people and divided into two stages, which lasted for 35 years from the beginning to the completion. In the fourth year of Wude in Tang Dynasty (AD 62 1), Ling put forward the revision proposal of History of Liang, Chen, Northern Qi, Northern Zhou and Sui Dynasty. The following year, the Tang court ordered Mitchell to compile it, but a few years later, it was still not written. In the third year of Zhenguan (AD 629), the History of the Five Dynasties was rebuilt, and Wei Zhi "knew about it" and edited the book.
There are 200 volumes of Old Tang Book, including 20 volumes of Ji, 30 volumes of Shi Lu and Biography 150. Originally named Tang Shu, The New Tang Shu, edited by Song Qi and Ouyang Xiu, was renamed Old Tang Shu after its publication, and was written in the later Jin Dynasty.
The compilation of the Book of Old Tang Dynasty is not far from the demise of the Tang Dynasty, and the sources of information are also relatively rich.
The Book of the New Tang Dynasty is one of the Twenty-four Histories written by Song Qi, Ouyang Xiu, Fan Zhen and Lu in the Northern Song Dynasty.
The book has 225 volumes, including 10, 50 volumes, 15 volumes and 150 volumes. After 17 years, the New History of the Tang Dynasty was revised and completed in the fifth year of Song Renzong Jiayou (A.D. 1060). After the New Book of Tang Dynasty was completed, its editor-in-chief Ceng Gongliang once went to the emperor's table and said it was better than the Old Book of Tang Dynasty. The Book of the New Tang Dynasty is the first time to write "military records" and "selected records", systematically discussing the military system and imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty.
The Draft of Qing History is an unfinished version compiled by Beiyang government in the early years of the Republic of China. The book has 536 volumes, centering on biographies, including 25 biographies, 53 forms and 3 biographies. According to the records, it has been 296 years since 16 16, when the Qing Taizu Nurhachi was founded in Hetuala, and 19 12, when the Qing Dynasty perished.
Zhao Erxun, editor-in-chief of the Draft of the History of Qing Dynasty, saw that the whole draft had taken shape, and worried that the situation was changeable and time was running out, so he decided to print and publish all the volumes in the name of the Draft of the History of Qing Dynasty to show that it was undecided. Because no history of Qing Dynasty was compiled according to the traditional official history style of China, and the Draft of Qing Dynasty itself is rich in historical materials, its value can not be ignored.
