What's the difference between historical records and five thousand years? What did you say respectively?

Historical Records (one of the most famous historical works in China's ancient classics), later Han Shu (Ban Gu), later Han Shu (Ye Fan, Sima Biao) and The History of the Three Kingdoms (Chen Shou) are collectively called "the first four histories". Historical Records records the history of * * * for more than 3,000 years from the time of the Yellow Emperor in ancient China to the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (BC 122). Sima Qian, the author, made Historical Records the first biographical general history in the history of China with his historical knowledge of "studying the relationship between man and nature, linking the changes from ancient times to modern times and forming a family statement". Historical Records had a far-reaching influence on the development of later historiography and literature. His original biographical method of compiling history was passed down by the "official history" of later generations. At the same time, Historical Records, as an excellent literary work, occupies an important position in the history of China literature. It is praised by Lu Xun as "a historian's swan song, and Li Sao has no rhyme", which has high literary value. Liu Xiang and others think that this book is "good in order and reason, argumentative but not flashy, qualitative but not vulgar". Together with Sima Guang's Zi Tong Zhi Jian, it is called "the double gem of history".

China has lived for five thousand years, because China has a history of nearly five thousand years. Say "five thousand years", usually refers to the whole history of China; Outside China, "five thousand years" usually refers to the history of human civilization all over the world. At present, there are two books, Five Thousand Years Up and Down in China and Five Thousand Years Up and Down in the World. Baidu Encyclopedia takes "Five Thousand Years Up and Down in China" and "Five Thousand Years Up and Down in the World" as entries respectively, and removes "China" or "World". Simply saying "five thousand years up and down" should refer to the "five thousand years up and down" in the world, which is the history of world civilization.
