Introductiontothework
TheTangDynastyhasbeencompiledinalldynasties.SincethebeginningoftheTangDynasty,hehaswrittenthehistoryofthecountryonthebasisofactualrecords.ThemostfamousonesarewrittenbyWuJingandWeiShu.WuJingwrotesixty-fivevolumesofthe"BookoftheTang"(onesaidninety-eightvolumes),andWeiShuaddedacontinuationoftheeleventhvolumeofthehistoryofthecountry.Sincethen,LiuFangandothershavesequels.However,WuZong’srecordswereincomplete,andtherecordsofsubsequentdynastieswerenotcompleted,andhistoricaleventswerelacking.BoththeLaterLiangandLaterTangdynastiesorderedtheextensivecollectionofTanghistorymaterials.
InthelaterJinDynasty,JiaWeicompiledthesixty-fivevolumesof"SupplementaryRecordsofTangDynasty"basedonthecollectedposthumousarticlesandoldlegends.InthesixthyearofTianfu,theemperorofthelateJinDynasty(941AD),ShiJingtangorderedthehistoryoftheTangDynastytobeedited,supervisedbythethenprimeministerZhaoYing.Heselectedscribesanddrewupacompleteandhugeplanforcollectinginformationandwritingwork.ThewritingwasbasedonthehistoryoftheTangDynastyandsupplementedwiththelateTanghistoricalmaterialscollectedatthattime.ZhaoYingorganizedthecompilationfromtwoaspects.

"OldTangBook"waseditedbyShiJingtanginthefifthyearofTianfuintheLaterJinDynasty(940),andwascompletedinthesecondyearofKaiyunintheLaterJinDynasty(945).BecauseLiuZhuwasinpowerwhenthebookwaswritten,andaccordingtotheregulationsatthetime,thegeneralprimeministerhadtobetheeditor-in-chief(supervise)ofthenationalhistory,soLiuZhubecameasignedwriter.Inadditiontothethreesupervisors,atotalof9peopleparticipatedinthepre-editingwork.Theyare:ZhangZhaoyuan,JiaWei,ZhaoXi,WangShen,LuQi,YinZhuo,CuiChao,ZhengYiyi,andLiWeixian(YiZuoguang).Amongthem,ZhangZhaoyuanhasalwaysbeenspecificallyresponsibleforhisaffairs,andisthemostdiligent.JiaWeilefthispostatthefuneralsoonafterreceivingtheedict,andresumedayearbeforethecompletionofthebook.Themaincontributionisthatthe65volumesofhis"SupplementtotheTangDynasty"providedmanyrarehistoricalmaterialsafterWuzongoftheTangDynasty.ZhaoXihasalwaysdonewhathehasdone,and"hasaccomplishedhiswork."WangShenwasonthelistof"EnAward"onthedaythebookwascompleted.LvQipre-studiedthehistoryoftheTangDynasty,andhewasknownas"agoodname"inhistory.

BecauseSongQiandOuyangXiu,theauthorsof"NewBookofTangDynasty",arebothliteraryfigures,anddescendantsgenerallyfollowtheirviews,andhaveaviewof"OldBookofTangDynasty".Therewerealotofderogations,andGuYanwucommentedonitas"quitealotoftrouble"attheendofMingDynasty.Indeed,ithasmanyshortcomings.Butinallfairness,itshouldbesaidthatthe"OldTangBook"hasitsgreatcontributiontothetruthfulpreservationofhistoricalmaterials.Thispointshouldbefullyaffirmed.
Whydoyousaythis?Firstofall,thefirst-handhistoricalmaterialsoftheTangDynastyarepreservedinthe"OldTangBook".Inthe300-yearhistoryoftheTangDynasty,therehavebeenwarsandchaosrepeatedly,andtheoriginalhistoricalmaterialshavegonethroughseveralmajorcatastrophes,especiallytheAnshiRebellionandthemeleeofthewarlordsofthelateTangDynasty,resultingin"XiangShi'slegacy,andtherulerandbambooslipsaregone."Fortunately,therewasthenationalhistorycompiledbyWeiShuduringthetimeofSuzong,andinthelaterJinDynasty,itbecamethemainbasisforcompilingthehistoryoftheTangDynasty.AfterSuzong,therearefewerhistoricalmaterials.EspeciallyinthefivegenerationsofXuan,Yi,Xi,Zhao,andAiafterTangWuzong,eventhe"factualrecord"hasnotbeensaved,becauseZhangZhaoyuanandJiaWeiandotherscollectedvariousrumorsandnovelsinthe"timeofchaos".Thecompilationof"SupplementaryRecordsintheYearoftheTangDynasty"and"HeardandSeeRecordsintheThreeDynastiesoftheLateTangDynasty"madesomesupplementstohistoricalfacts.ItwasonlythirtyyearssincethedeathoftheTangDynastywhenthe"OldTangBook"wascompiled,andmanyhistoricalmaterialsweredirectlyobtainedfromtheTangDynasty."OldTangBook"preservedtheserarehistoricalmaterials.Thisisoneofitsgreatbenefits.Forexample,thesentences"JianShangJianZuo","ShangAscendedtheThrone","ShangChuHeir"andothersentencesincertainbiographiesareobviouslytracesrecordeddirectlyfromthecountry'shistoryandactualrecordsatthattime.Thehistoricalvalueisespeciallyvaluableifitdirectlyrecordstherecordsofthepeopleatthattime.Somebiographiesalsousedthe"characteristics"and"familybiography"writtenbypeopleintheTangDynastyatthattime.ThesefamilybiographiesareoftenwrittenbyfamousauthorsintheTangDynasty.Theynotonlykeephistoricaldatatruthfully,butarealsoverydistinctiveinwriting.ZhaoYi’s"NotesontheTwenty-twoHistory"commentedthatthe"FengChangqingBiography"inthe"OldTangBook"is"YuBosadanddesolate","Thereisstilllifeunderathousandyears";"GuoZiyiBiography"writtenbyPeiBian,"Thebeginningandtheendareneatandtidy,andtherearenowords,soitcanbeseenthattheTanghistoriansareolderthanliterature."
Inthebiographiesofthe"OldTangBook",alargesectionoftheedicts,scripts,andmemorialsoftheemperorsandministersoftheTangDynastywasalsoquoted.Thecollectionof"BookofTangDynasty"wasretained.Preciselybecauseoftheabove-mentionedadvantagesof"OldTangBook",whenSimaGuangetal.revised"ZiZhiTongJian",theSuiandTangdynastiesusedalargenumberofmaterials.Ontheotherhand,theTangDynastyisastrongandprosperousdynastyinourcountry,andthemulti-ethnicunifiedcountryhasdeveloped.

Theguidingprincipleforthecompilationof"OldTangBook"isthatthecompilationmustbebasedontheoldchapters,thatis,tobefaithfultotheoriginalmaterialsleftoverfromtheTangDynasty,andthehistoricalfactsarerecordedinaccordancewiththethinkingandunderstandingofthepeopleatthattime.Inthisway,ittrulyreflectstheideologicalunderstandingandthestyleofthetimesindifferentperiodsoftheTangDynasty.Becauseoftheseadvantagesof"OldTangBook",ithasanirreplaceablestatus.Foranotherexample,inthebiographiesofFuYi,DiRenjie,YaoChong,etc.,articlesagainstBuddhismwerepublished,fromwhichwecanexaminethesignificantinfluenceoftheprevalenceofBuddhismintheTangDynastyonpolitics,economy,andsociety,aswellasthestruggleofsecularlandlordsagainstBuddhism..SomeofthesearticlesaretheearliestpreservedoldTangbooks.
Although"XinTangShu"hasmadesomeadditionstohistoricalmaterials,especiallythechronicles,tables,andbiographiesofthelateTangDynasty,"XinTangShu"isintendedtoovercomethecomplicatedrecordsof"OldTangShu".Shortcomings,sothewritingnotesaretooconcise,makingitdifficultforreaderstounderstandthespecificsituation.The"NewTangBook"alsodeletedandrewrittenalargenumberofarticlespreservedinthe"OldTangBook",whichchangedtheoriginalfaceofhistoricaldocuments.Incontrast,the"NewTangBook"cannotreplacethe"OldTangBook"intermsofpreservinghistoricaldata.
Afterthe"NewTangBook"wascompleted,the"OldTangBook"wasnolongerhandeddown.Itwasn'tuntiltheJiajingperiodoftheMingDynastythatWenreninterpretedvarioussearchesandrepublisheditbeforeitbecamepopularintheworldagain.Itwasonlywhenthe"SikuQuanshu"wasrevisedduringtheQianlongperiodoftheQingDynastythattheoldandnewTangbookswereformallylistedintheofficialhistory.IntheRenzongperiodoftheNorthernSongDynasty,acenturyafterthecompletionof"OldTangBook",anotherpieceofTanghistorywascompiled,whichis"NewTangBook".
