Jishi benmo huike 紀事本末彙刻

Tongjian jishi benmo is that of the Zhonghua shuju press 中華書局 from 1955.
Yuan Shu's Tongjian jishi benmo proved so useful and easy-to-read that it became the ancestor of a throughly new tradition of historiography, the jishi benmo 紀事本末 type. They combined the style of the dynastic histories with Yuan Shu's book and created, for example, the Songshi jishi benmo 宋史紀事本末 or Mingshi jishi benmo 明史紀事本末. The compilers of the collectaneum Siku quanshu 四庫全書 added to these books the historiographical type of the military annals (fanglüe 方略) describing the military campaigns of the Qing dynasty 清 (1644-1911).
During the Guangxu reign 光緒 (1875-1908) two collectanea were published that included a large number of histories written in the style of "historical events in their entirety". The first was the Lichao jishi benmo compiled and published in 1899 (repr. 1910) by Chen Rusheng and Zhu Jirong, and the second the Jishi benmo huike 紀事本末彙刻 published by the Guangya Publishing House 廣雅書局 in 1900.
