History books are all written in classical Chinese

1. Can anyone recommend a few websites that have a large number of history books that can be read. Preferably those in classical Chinese and vernacular Chinese.

On the first floor, there is no "History of the Qing Dynasty" among the Twenty-Four Histories. , there is currently no book "History of the Qing Dynasty", it is only being compiled by the National Qing History Compilation Committee, and I don't know when it will be officially published. Regarding the Qing Dynasty, there are only "Manuscripts of Qing History" and "History of the State of Qing", as well as "Biographies of Qing History". The chronicles include "Qing Shilu", "Donghua Lu" and "Donghua Continued Records", and the final chronicles include "Qing Shilu" and "Donghua Lu". "Chronicles of Qing History", "Chronicles of the Qing Dynasty" for political books, "Huidian of the Qing Dynasty" for political books, "Unification of the Qing Dynasty" for geography, etc.

If the poster has insufficient knowledge of classical Chinese, it is recommended that you read relevant historical books written by modern people, such as the Zhengshuo series published by Zhonghua Book Company: "The Twelve Emperors of the Qing Dynasty", "The Sixteen Emperors of the Ming Dynasty" and "The Zhengshuo". "Eighteen Emperors of the Song Dynasty", "Twenty-one Emperors of the Tang Dynasty" and "Twenty-four Emperors of the Han Dynasty".

I have read these books many times, and I have a good say in them. The content is roughly based on the official history, and is supplemented by other histories. Among them, "Eighteen Emperors of the Ming Dynasty" has the highest historical value, rich in content and easy to read. Understand.

If the poster still wants to read the original works in classical Chinese, I suggest you start with the last few of the Twenty-Four Histories, such as "History of the Ming Dynasty" and "History of the Song Dynasty". Of course, "Hanshu", "Houhanshu", "Three Kingdoms" and "Old Tangshu" are also good. I have personally read "History of the Ming Dynasty" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Among them, "History of the Ming Dynasty" is recommended as the best among the twenty-four histories because of its rigorous research, precise editing, and complete style. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is also good, but the content is similar to "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" Biko is quite different. It is best for the poster not to read the "History of the Yuan", "History of the Liao", "History of the Jin", etc., which describe the ethnic minority regimes. Their customs are difficult to understand, and they are no better than those in the Central Plains. "Historical Records" is written like a classical Chinese novel, so I suggest you don't read it.

Although "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" does not belong to the Twenty-Four Histories, it is also an important chronicle history book and is worth reading. Sima Guang was careful in selecting the materials, mainly to show the emperor how to deal with chaos in the past dynasties. It is written for reference. Some people say that the value of historical materials is not high. It depends on how you evaluate it.
