The Chronicle of the Lineage Since Jianyan is a historical work of the Song Dynasty written by Li Xinchuan of the Song Dynasty, modeled on the chronicle of the Zizhi Tongjian, which records the history of the Song Dynasty in great detail, and collects a wide range of records on the basis of the official calendar, records, and meeting points, and makes its own expositions after careful examination. There are also detailed annotations in the book, indicating the source of the material and the basis for taking it. The Compendium of the General Catalogue of the Four Libraries commented on the "Essential Records" and said: "Although its books are based on The Law and Li Tao, the fine examination is more successful." The "Essential Records" only record the events of Emperor Gaozong's thirty-six years, but the length of the volume is as many as two hundred volumes, especially before the nine years of Shaoxing, there are almost ten volumes per year. It can be seen that the "Essential Record" preserves a large number of historical materials and the value of historical materials. Mr. Xin Gengru, the finisher, is an expert in the collation of historical materials of the Song Dynasty, and has worked with Mr. Deng Guangming to sort out the "Notes on the Chronicle of Jiaxuan Words", and has been engaged in the collation of historical materials of the Song Dynasty for many years, with a variety of achievements. The whole manuscript is orderly, and the punctuation and collation specifications are reliable.
