Abstract

Historical records are important source of materials for Chinese history researchers. This paper uses the research methods of “original materials” and “other materials” in ancient Chinese to propose a new classification standard for determining the age of historical materials. At the same time it comes to a conclusion: the historical materials in the “recording speech” part should be divided into two categories. One is processed by the author and belongs to the corpus of the author’s era. The other is the author’s citation of the predecessors’ classics, which should belong to the corpus of the time recorded in the historical books.
