Since ancient times, Chinese historians have been having a relatively better tradition, namely respecting the facts, writing the truth without fear or favor, Being capable of distinguishing between good and bad, good and evil, getting a word of praise is more glorious than getting fancy clothes; being criticized by a derogatory word is more uncomfortable than being killed in the punishment. We ought to say, most of authors of Twenty-Four Histories had followed and carried forward this tradition as well. Therefore, the so-called lessons learned in Twenty-Four Histories, as long as we could use the basic principles of Marxism, discard the dross and take its essence, could totally make the past serve the present. The authors purpose of writing this book was hoping to educate people through history, advocate the true, the good and the beautiful, against the false, the evil, and the ugly through telling these historical stories.
