There were many books that did not belong to the twenty-four historical books, such as Records of the Historian, Han Shu, Water Margins, Journey to the West, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Dream of the Red Chamber, Scholars, and so on. These books were all famous historical novels in China and had very high literary value.
The Twenty-four History Books referred to the twenty-four history books written by the various dynasties in ancient China. The twenty-four histories included Records of the Historian, Han Shu, Hou Han Shu, Records of the Three Kingdoms, Jin Shu, Song Shu, Nan Qi Shu, Liang Shu, Chen Shu, Wei Shu, Bei Qi Shu, Zhou Shu, Sui Shu, Nan Shi, Bei Shi, Jiu Tang Shu, Xin Tang Shu, Jiu Wu Dai Shi, Xin Wu Dai Shi, Song Shi, Liao Shi, Jin Shi, Yuan Shi, and Ming Shi.
I'm not someone who can evaluate the value of books. The Twenty-Four Histories was a very ancient Chinese classic document that contained 5,000 years of Chinese civilization. Its value and importance were self-evident. However, the value of a book depended on many factors, such as the author, the publishing house, the edition, the content, the historical background, and so on. All these factors would affect the price of a book. If you can find a 1986 historical romance and confirm that it is an authentic book, then it may be very valuable. However, the exact value depends on many factors. I can't give an accurate answer.
The twenty-four history books included: Records of the Historian, Han Shu, Hou Han Shu, Records of the Three Kingdoms, Jin Shu, Song Shu, Nan Qi Shu, Liang Shu, Chen Shu, Wei Shu, Bei Qi Shu, Zhou Shu, Sui Shu, Nan Shi, Bei Shi, Jiu Tang Shu, Xin Tang Shu, Jiu Wu Dai Shi, Xin Wu Dai Shi, Song Shi, Liao Shi, Jin Shi, Yuan Shi, Ming Shi.
Zi Zhi Tong Jian was a chronicle of Chinese history. It was a long history book that lasted for 2953 years and was compiled by Sima Guang, a famous minister of the Northern Song Dynasty. The Twenty-Four Histories was a set of official history compiled by the officials of China's feudal society. It included all the important events and figures in the entire history of China from the Xia Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, a total of about 2500 years of history. Zi Zhi Tong Jian and the Twenty-Four Histories were both important documents of Chinese history, but they did not belong to the same category because of the differences in compilation organization and content. Zi Zhi Tong Jian was a chronicle that recorded the political, economic, cultural, and social development and evolution of each dynasty in Chinese history. The Twenty-Four Histories was a comprehensive and systematic record of important events and figures in the political, economic, cultural, and social aspects of each dynasty in Chinese history. Therefore, Zi Zhi Tong Jian did not belong to the Twenty-Four Histories, but was an important historical document that recorded the important events and figures of various dynasties in Chinese history. It had important value and role in the study and education of Chinese history.

As for the beginning of the Twenty-Four Histories, it was generally believed to be the Records of the Historian because it recorded the history from the Xia Dynasty to the Warring States Period and was the foundation of ancient Chinese historical documents. The ending of the Twenty-Four Histories was the Fifteen History of the Qing Dynasty because it recorded the history of the Qing Dynasty and was the most complete of the Twenty-Four Histories.
Sorry, my answer may not be accurate enough. The Four Great Wonders of the Ming Dynasty referred to the four novels, Dream of the Red Chamber, Journey to the West, Water Margins, and Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
The History of the Ming Dynasty was the official history book of the Ming Dynasty and one of the 24 histories of China. Like other history books, it was an important part of ancient Chinese historical documents. However, the Twenty-Four Histories was a general term for a series of ancient Chinese historical documents, including the Records of the Historian, the Book of the Han Dynasty, the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, the Records of the Three Kingdoms, the Book of the Jin Dynasty, the Book of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Book of the Sui Dynasty, the Book of the Tang Dynasty, the History of the Five Dynasties, the History of the Song Dynasty, the History of the Yuan Dynasty, and the History of the Ming Dynasty. The time span of these 15 historical books covered the historical process from the 4th century B.C. to the 19th century A.D. Therefore, it could be said that the history books were one of the most numerous books in the twenty-four histories, but they were not the only one. At the same time, other historical books such as the Book of Songs, the Spring and Autumn Annals, Zuo Zhuan, the Book of Rites, and the Book of Changes were also important components of ancient Chinese culture and had extremely high value.
" Zhuangzi " was one of the classics of ancient Chinese philosophy, belonging to the philosophers of the pre-Qin period. It was also one of the famous works of ancient Chinese literature, and was included in the " Four Books and Five Classics." In addition, it is also classified as one of the classical novels because it is a short story that tells a fable about Zhuangzi's thoughts.
" Records of the Historian " was a historical work written by Sima Qian, a historian of the Western Han Dynasty. It was also known as the " Book of the Grand Historian." It was a history book that combined unofficial history, official history, miscellaneous history, and barnyard history. Therefore, it was also known as the "History of the Six Arts","Spring and Autumn", and the "Hundred Schools of Thought","Zhuangzi". After that, it was another great historical work of ancient China.
" Twenty-four Histories " was a colorful illustration of ancient Chinese historical documents, including the content of the twenty-four histories of China from ancient times to the present. However, due to the large number of books, the content of each book was different. Therefore, for history lovers, this set of books was very rich in content.
