There are two remarkable characteristics in the Long Edition of Xuzizhi Tongjian. First of all, when he wrote this book, he insisted on author of the history Zizhi Tongjian Edited《 Comprehensive Mirror for Aid Government 》The principle of "Better lose in complexity than lose in carelessness" is very rich in the materials of the Long Edition of the General Guide to Continuing Zizhi, except for those in the Song Dynasty Factual record In addition to the national history, a large number of classics, histories, books and collections are also used, literary sketches , family lineage. Southern Song Dynasty people Chen Fuliang Zeng praised and said:“ China National credentials , Yes calendar , there are factual records, official history, meeting requests Imperial decree There are imperial collections, Baisi's specialized command, allusions, etc., and Baoxun for more than three dynasties; And hundreds of novels Private history It's incorrigible to go with the doctor to make a statement. since Li Tao The book "Xutongjian" (that is, "Xuzizhi Tongjian Changbian") was built for two years, and the best year of the Yuan Dynasty was here. "Qing people Tan Zhonglin It is also believed that the book "according to the national code on the top, private records on the bottom, reference to similarities and differences, compromise one is to make Northern Song Dynasty The facts of the generation are brilliant and clear, but they are《 sth. that serves as a lesson to all 》It is a book that cannot be ignored later. " just because Li Tao Adhering to this principle, a large number of historical materials of the Song Dynasty were preserved for future generations.
The second notable feature of the "Long Edition of the Comprehensive Knowledge of Continuing Zizhi" is Li Tao It has inherited and developed the fine tradition of "examination of differences". author of the history Zizhi Tongjian At《 Comprehensive Mirror for Aid Government 》At that time, he wrote "Tongjian Kaoyi", in which he arranged different materials and explained the reasons for his choice. The Long Edition of Xunzizhi Tongjian also adopted this method of examination. "If there are mistakes and additions in the old version, it should be clear that they were cut off by mistake, and the Qi Tim Department still stated the book on which they were based. If the book is confirmed to be correct, it should be revised and recorded as an examination; otherwise, it should be the old version, not to add or change." The Long Edition of Xunzhi Tongjian has more than 12000 annotations, with more than 700000 words. Qing people Huang Tingjian This evaluation is very high, and he thinks that "there are many separate notes, which are used to study people and draw detailed quotations from other books, especially in the generation of gods and philosophers.
Such as《 Song Huiyao 》, Politicians, dynasties《 Factual record 》、《 Chronicle of Current Affairs 》, Wang Yu《 Jianlong's Legacy 》、 Cai Xiang Zhibi Wang Gongchen Bielu, Sima Wengong's Diary, Wang Jinggong Diary Liu Zhi Diary Lv Dafang Zheng Mu Written by Lu Gong Palm Records Zenbu Daily Record Linxi Unofficial history 》None of the books on Chaolun written by Wu Yanlao, Shengsong Duoyi written by Oujing, Dialectics written by Shao, and the inscriptions handed down by various families have survived. Fortunately, there are some biographies, such as《 Dongzhai Chronicles 》、《 Stories of Sushui 》Dongxuan Record《 Wild Records of Xiangshan Mountain 》、《 Yuhu Qinghua 》,《 Shao's Hearing and Seeing Record 》、《 Written conversation 》, "Records of Volatile Dust", and so on, are often misrepresented, which is also sufficient to justify. So this compilation is not special enough to test the faults in the history of the Song Dynasty and Liao Dynasty Miscellaneous history The books that the novelist does not keep can also be passed on. The books that cannot be ignored after Cheng Wengong's Tongjian can also be passed on. "
Li Tao Although in terms of political opinions and historical viewpoints author of the history Zizhi Tongjian Very close, but for Sima Guang《 Stories of Sushui 》, Diary, etc. are not all accepted according to the order, but have some choices and reservations, especially reflecting author of the history Zizhi Tongjian Political opinions and Song Shenzong This is especially true of the whitewashed "True Records of the Shenzong". contrary, Li Tao about Wang Anshi Can also be treated fairly. although Li Tao "Shame reading Wang's (An Shi), against Wang Anshi But in the text and annotations of the Long Edition of the Comprehensive Guide to the Administration of Continued Assets Public deliberation , evaluate fairly and objectively Wang Anshi Some measures, events and people during the reform. For example, Volume 214 of the Long Edition of Continuation of Zizhi Tongjian Xining The account of Cang Fa at the end of August Gui in three years reflects Li Tao His attitude: "... Zeng Buyun, on September 25 of the third year of Xining, the river warehouse runs through. According to this, the warehouse law was established on August 27. At the end of the old Ji Shu Gui, the government ordered all the warehouses to give an estimate of the number of people who received the measure. The number of people who received the measure was temporary, and the reason was that they were traitors. The army food was ten times three or four. It increased the salaries of the warehouse servants, and set up a hook to take the heavy law. From the age when they were old, they reduced the number of food delivery soldiers, and more than 500 people took the law. Therefore, the traitors and thieves were not allowed to indulge. Later, the internal and external officials were promoted, and the officials began to respect the. Cenozoic erasure Flattery Yes, such as warehouse establishment method Anke No books. "
