history books

The history book was an official position in ancient China. It was mainly responsible for writing the eight-point script and official script for the minister of history and the censor. According to the "Han Guan Jiu Yi," the history books belonged to the subordinate officials of the Han Prime Minister's Office and the later three public offices. Their positions were below the history of the Cao Cao, and their official rank was 100 stones. In addition, the subordinate officer of the censor Zhongcheng, Lantai Lingshi, was also a special kind of Lingshi, with an official rank of 600 stones. His status was low and he was despised by the scholars. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liang Ji had maliciously appointed the famous scholar Liu Chang as the magistrate to insult him. Generally speaking, the history books were low-level officials responsible for handling documents and other matters.

The development of books could be traced back to ancient times, but the true invention of books could be traced back to Europe around the 1st century AD.

With the development of printing technology, the production of books became more exquisite and widespread. In the 14th century, Italian Gothic manuscripts became popular. These manuscripts were very beautiful and rich in content.

In the 20th century, with the development of computer technology, the production and distribution of books also changed greatly. The emergence of e-books, online books, and digital libraries made the distribution of books more convenient and widespread.

History books and general history books were two different kinds of historical works. History books usually refer to the history of a specific country or region. They focus on recording the historical events, people, and culture of the country or region in detail, aiming to provide readers with comprehensive and systematic historical knowledge. History books were generally arranged in the order of time or events. Sometimes, they would also include other historical works or documents. For example, the historical records of ancient China, such as the Records of the Historian and the Book of Han, were systematic and rich in information. General history refers to the history of a specific country or region, which is intended to provide readers with a comprehensive historical perspective. The general history is usually arranged in the order of global history, covering various historical stages, the history of various countries or regions, and sometimes even other historical events related to specific countries or regions. There were more general history books than history books, but because they covered a wider range, they were more challenging for historians. Therefore, there was a big difference in the content between history books and general history books. History books focused more on the history of specific countries or regions, while general history paid more attention to the development of global history.

General history usually used a more comprehensive and objective research method to describe and analyze historical events and figures in detail. At the same time, it also paid attention to historical and cultural heritage, human activities, science and technology, and other intangible cultural aspects of history. History books were historical works that specialized in studying a certain area or a certain historical period. History books usually focused on a specific area or period of history, such as the history of a country, nation, religion, politics, or culture. History books usually used more professional and in-depth research methods to conduct detailed and in-depth research on historical events and figures.
