Why should every dynasty compile a history book of a dynasty?

Because it has become a system of compiling history for generations.

China historiography has always attached great importance to the continuous development of history. Confucius talked about the ceremony of three generations, Sima Tan praised Duke Zhou and Confucius for their contributions in expressing historical continuity, and Sima Qian's Historical Records specifically wrote about the historical process from Huangdi to Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty for about 3,000 years. These discourses are essentially about the continuous development of history.

Since the publication of Han Shu by Ban Gu, especially the establishment of the Tang Dynasty History Museum, the compilation of the history of the former dynasty has become an important aspect of the compilation activities of the history museum, and the compilation of history for the former dynasty has become a system. From the historical records to the Qing Dynasty, all the "Twenty-four histories" have become the main historical documents to record the continuous development of Chinese civilization.

This emphasis on the continuity of historical development and its unremitting efforts have played a great role in enhancing China people's historical consciousness and maintaining and promoting the consolidation and development of a unified multi-ethnic country.

It is a cultural infrastructure project that needs constant efforts to expand Danqing's materials for compiling and painting history, and to show the national spirit, brilliant achievements, creative achievements and outstanding figures in the history of 5,000 years of civilization with colorful brushes.

Artists want to express the diversity of history with a painting and a sculpture, and they need to creatively shape history through typical methods. Maybe a character's expression, a look, already contains all kinds of historical hints.

When the country becomes more and more powerful, it is even more necessary to establish its own cultural inheritance system, establish the historical view of the Chinese nation, confidently face the world, establish its own discourse system in the international context, and tell the story of China well.

The attempt to restore history is just to bring people into the real scene of history to think about history. Behind this historical appearance, there are both the sad memories of a nation and the alarm that "the Chinese nation has reached the most dangerous time".
