四书五经二十六史

Read full description

《四书五经》是四书和五经的合称,泛指儒家经典著作。四书之名始于宋朝,五经之名始于汉武帝。 四书指的是《论语》《孟子》《大学》《中庸》,为儒家传道、授业的基本教材。几百年来,“四书”在我国广泛流传,其中许多语句已成为脍炙人口的格言警句。 五经指的是《诗经》《尚书》《礼记》《周易》《春秋》。《礼记》通常包括三礼,即《仪礼》《周礼》《礼记》。《春秋》由于文字过于简略,通常与解释《春秋》的《左传》《公羊传》《谷梁传》分别合刊。五经是儒家作为研究基础的古代五本经典书籍的合称,相传它们都经过儒家创始人之一的孔子的编辑或修改。 《二十六史》是中国古代各朝撰写的二十六部史书的总称,它上起传说中的黄帝,下至1911年清朝灭亡,长达五千多年漫长历史时期的政治、经济、军事、文化、民族等各个方面的情况,不但是研究中国历史的一部无法替代的永久经典,也是全世界了解中华文化最重要的工具书之一,更是炎黄子孙不可不读、户户必备的传家之宝。同时,它也是考察中国周边国家历史的珍贵资料。《二十六史》用统一的有本纪、列传的纪传体编写,通俗易懂,具有极高的学术地位和研究价值。 《二十六史》包括《史记》、《汉书》、《后汉书》、《三国志》、《晋书》、《宋书》、《南齐书》、《梁书》、《陈书》、《魏书》、《北齐书》、《周书》、《隋书》、《南史》、《北史》、《旧唐书》、《新唐书》、《旧五代史》、《新五代史》、《宋史》、《辽史》、《金史》、《元史》、《新元史》、《明史》、《清史稿》二十六种纪传体历史文献。
