How about Wang Xianqian's "Donghualu" of the Qing Dynasty

Wang Xianqian also compiled a total of 194 volumes of the "Donghua Record" and 230 volumes of the "Continuation of Donghua", which is an important work to understand the history of the Qing Dynasty.

Wang Xianqian (1842-1917), the character Yiwu, the name of the house is Kuiyuan, the scholar is called Mr. Kuiyuan, a native of Changsha, Hunan. In the fourth year of Tongzhi (1865), he was awarded the title of Shu Jishi of Hanlin Academy, and later served as the deputy examiner of the local township examination, the examiner of the hui examination, the guozi supervisor of wine, and the jiangsu xuezheng, and then returned to his hometown to give lectures, serving as the director of Chengnan Academy, Yuelu Academy, the director of Hunan Normal Museum, the speaker of the Academic Affairs Office, the honorary prime minister of Hunan Railway Bureau, and the office of Hunan Provincial Consultative Bureau. After the Xinhai Revolution, he wrote books behind closed doors. He is the author of "Continuation of the Interpretation of the Imperial Qing Classics", "Records of the Eastern Hualu of the Ten Dynasties", "Continuation of Ancient Texts and Dictionaries", etc., and authors of "Supplementary Notes on the Book of Han", "Collected Interpretations of the Later Han Dynasty", "Interpretation of the Xunzi Collection", "Poetry Three Families of Righteousness Collection" and so on.

Jiang's "Records of Eastern China" is only recorded to the Yongzheng Dynasty, and Wang Xianqian, in the early years of Guangxu, imitated The style of Chiang Kai-shek, continued to copy the "Records of the Three Dynasties" of Qianlong, Jiaqing, and Daoguang, and wrote another "Records of Eastern China". Among them, before the Mandate of Heaven (which began in the year before the Mandate of Heaven, that is, in the eleventh year of the Ming Wanli Calendar), the Mandate of Heaven, Tiancong, Chongde, shunzhi and Kangxi dynasties, a total of 194 volumes, called the "Donghualu". It is also based on the four dynasties of Yongzheng, Qianlong, Jiaqing, and Daoguang, with a total of 230 volumes, called "Donghua Continuation", and these two are also known as "Nine Dynasties Donghualu". Later, he copied the Xianfeng and Tongzhi Dynasties" and "Records of the Twelve Dynasties", which were divided into "Donghua Continuation of the Xianfeng Dynasty" and "Donghua Continuation of the Tongzhi Dynasty", each with a hundred volumes, and together with the "Nine Dynasties Of the Eastern Hualu" was called the "Eleventh Dynasty DonghuaLu".

Wang's "Donghualu" came out later than Chiang's "Donghualu", and the content was greatly increased, and the records of Chiang's records for each dynasty were only thirty-two volumes, while the Wang's increased to more than two hundred volumes, and the dynasties that Chiang's did not record were also nearly two hundred volumes, so the content was more detailed than Jiang's records, and concise and concise than the "Qingshilu". The whole book narrates the Tongzhi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty from the beginning of Manchuria to the late Qing Dynasty in a chronological manner, with a detailed narrative, which can be called an important material for the study of Qing history, and was written before the publication of the "Qing Shilu", so it is quite highly valued by scholars.

Wang Shi compiled this book, thinking that Chiang's "Records of Donghua", only a rough outline of the historical events of the Qing Dynasty, and his illness was brief, so he used the convenience of engaging in the history museum to add details to the affairs from the Mandate of Heaven to the Yongzheng Dynasty, and also honored Qianlong to follow the historical events of the second dynasties and write the "Continuation", so that future generations could follow the traces and deduce that there were Qing dynasties to rule Hongmo and its careful annotations, which was the meaning of Wang's addition.

The materials in this book are based on the "Qing Shi Lu" and rewritten, which is simpler than the "Qing Shi Lu" and the context is clearer. In the main text, a sandwich note is given to the Manchu name and place name, and a different name is carried to know the different transliterations, such as the "Mandate of Heaven" recorded: "It is the wild Odoli of the Odoli of the Eastern Omo Hui in the East of The White Mountains", the note cloud "One as Emo Hui" under the "Omo Hui", and the "Odoli" under the note cloud "Ao Duoli", and so on, which is very much, so that the reader can understand the pronunciation of the Manchu name and place name. In the case of differences from his book, he added another sentence to explain, such as the "Mandate of Heaven": "So the ancestors of Zhaozu lived in Hetuala Land", and added a case of language cloud: "The Founding Strategy is between the Suksu Moat Jiaha River, later called Xingjing." Important figures whose names have changed after them are also noted to explain, such as the "Mandate of Heaven" contains "Jingzu Gave Birth to Five Sons, Chang Li Dun", and its bet is "Later Batulu posthumously crowned the King of Wugong County", and the rest of the sons are the same. Such annotations or case notes are helpful in reading history.

Although the book is based on the Qing Shilu, it has been changed in the narrative in order to be more factual, such as the "Shilu" Tiancong said in the fourth year that "the Ming Lord then carried Yuan Chonghuan into the city and was imprisoned", but the book was changed to "Sui Zhi Yuan Chonghuan went to prison". The changes in such narratives show that Wang's compilation of history books has an objective consciousness and deserves attention.

The "Continuation of the Four Libraries of the Whole Book" is photocopied according to the Engraving Of the Wang Clan of the Ten Years of the Qing Guangxu Dynasty collected by the Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House, and is included in the Chronicle of the History Department.
