The ancient history of China is divided into official history, miscellaneous history and unofficial history. How to treat it?

1, the so-called official history is recorded by court historians, and the so-called unofficial history is a historical story written by folk historians or circulated by the people.

2. The official history has great authenticity. Court historians have been handed down from generation to generation, and the witnesses recorded the historical facts of the same period, which is very true and official. Therefore, the official history is also an important basis for future generations to study the history of the previous dynasty, but it also has disadvantages. For example, later monarchs would criticize the history of the previous dynasty or others and let historians write history according to their personal likes and dislikes. I will also deliberately cover up my shortcomings and beautify myself. Therefore, when reading official history, we should have our own view of history, learn dialectical analysis, and firmly believe that a letter is better than no book.

3. unofficial history is a folk version of history, which is consistent with the official history to some extent. Most of them are palace secrets and figures, which have certain authenticity. Studying history and exploring the truth of historical facts require the combination of official history and unofficial history.
