What was China's first historical review book?

Shi Tong is the first systematic historical criticism work in ancient China. Twenty volumes. This book was written by Liu Zhiji, a famous historian in Tang Dynasty, and was completed in Jinglong four years (7 10). Liu Zhiji (66 1—72 1) was born in Xuanhe Pengcheng (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu). In the first year of Tang Gaozong Yonglong (680), he was a scholar. In the second year of Chang 'an (702), Wu Zetian began to be a historian, writing notes, and successively served as Zuo Lang, Zuo Shi, Zhu Zuolang, Secretary Shaojian, Prince Zuo Shuzi, and Zuo Sanqi, and also studied the country and history. In the third year of Chang 'an, Zhu Jingze and others wrote eighty volumes of Tang Shu, while Shenlong (705-707) and Xu Jian wrote Records of Wuhou. In the first year of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty (7 12), he revised the genealogy with genealogist Liu Chong. In the second year of Kaiyuan (7 14), he wrote 200 volumes of genealogy, and in four years, he wrote 20 volumes of Zong Ruizhi with Jason Wu, and rebuilt 30 volumes of Ze Tianzhi and 20 volumes of Zhong Zongzhi. Liu Zhiji was dissatisfied with the confusion of the historical museum system and the interference in the supervision and revision of history. In the second year of Jinglong (708), he resigned as a historian and "retired from privacy to write a history book to see his ambition".
