The annalistic history books and the annalistic general history books were two different types of history books. Chronological history books were detailed records and descriptions of historical events, figures, and cultures of a certain period or a certain country or region in a certain historical order. In the annals, every event was arranged according to the year and described in a certain order, such as the General History of China and the General History of the World. The general annals used the entire historical period as the research object to describe the historical events, characters, and cultures of various dynasties and regions. The history of each period and region was arranged in a certain time order and classified and described according to different dimensions, such as the General History of Chinese History and the General History of World History. Therefore, the main differences between the annalistic history books and the annalistic general history books were the narrative method, the research object, the narrative time, and so on. The former paid more attention to the detailed description of historical events and people in a certain period or region, while the latter paid more attention to the comprehensive narration of historical events and culture in the entire historical period.
