The ''History of Yuan'' (), also known as the ''Yuanshi'', is one of the official Chinese historical works known as the Twenty-Four Histories of China. Commissioned by the court of the Ming dynasty, in accordance to political tradition, the text was composed in 1370 by the official Bureau of History of the Ming dynasty, under direction of Song Lian (1310–1381). The compilation formalized the official history of the preceding Yuan dynasty. Under the guidance of Song Lian, the official dynastic history broke with the old Confucian historiographical tradition, establishing a new historical framework asserting that the influence of history was equal in influence to the great Confucian classics in determining the course of human affairs. ==Layout and Contents== The historical work consists of 210 chapters chronicling the history of the Genghisid Yuan dynasty from the time of Genghis Khan (1162–1227) to the flight of the last Yuan Emperor Huizong (Toghun Temür, 1333–1370) from Dadu in 1368. The chapters are, in turn, subdivided into the following: *47 Imperial biographies (本紀), detailing the lives of the Yuan emperors - including the pre-Yuan Mongol khans Genghis, Ogodei, Guyuk and Mongke *58 Treatises (志), detailing socio-economic history, laws and rituals *8 Chronological tables (表) *97 Biographies (列傳), detailing important non-imperial people of the era 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「History of Yuan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
