What are the main features of China ancient historiography as a national memory?

The invention and use of characters have produced official historical records, and a large number of documents have become the first-hand materials to understand the historical process, so there have been works dedicated to describing and interpreting the historical process and summing up historical experience. For example, China's ancient merchant dynasty paid attention to national memory, and China's ancient historiography, as a national memory, also developed and left a wealth of historical works. As can be seen, as national memories, they have the following important characteristics:

(1) Managing history is an important act of the country, and the historians appointed by Taishiling, Zuolang, Julang and other countries, as well as the specially set historical revision bureau and history museum are always responsible.

(2) The purpose of administering history is to maintain and strengthen the ruling order of the country. (Anbang's means of governing the country)

(3) The content of compiling history is mainly political, economic, social and cultural activities related to the rise and fall of dynasties.

(4) The method used in compiling history has always advocated "straight book based on facts" and opposed "writing in a curved way", but it still takes the national interests represented by the king as the standard of right and wrong.
