Wei Yuan sat in the study, reading a history book under the bright sunlight streaming in through the window. It was an unofficial history, with many annotations from predecessors pointing out the errors and omissions in its content.
Yet, being included in the Taichu Palace meant the book had some merits. It recorded many details of the region where the author lived and some events related to the author, though insignificant to the overall situation.
At the time, it was a mediocre work, with misplaced priorities and chaotic logic, filled with personal preferences of the author.
But now, many details recorded in it have become the only written memories of that era, allowing people today to understand the times from 300,000 years ago.
Reading history is like fitting pieces of a puzzle; each book offers fragments of the era, piecing together a relatively complete picture as you read more.
