"Selections from Classical Chinese: Historical Texts" aims to instruct, inform, and inspire students of Chinese by presenting selected historical texts and their annotations. Taken from the seminal works known as the Four Histories, the fourteen included texts offer insights into the political, social, economic, and cultural aspects of China over a long period of time. The comprehensive annotations provide full pronunciation in pinyin, the grammatical function of individual words, and a full explication of the texts.

One of the supplementary readings to "Classical Chinese: A Basic Reader," this volume includes eight selections from the "Shi Ji" and two each from the "Han Shu," the "Hou Han Shu," and the "San Guo Zhi." Each unfolds a fascinating account of the historical events and figures that represent certain salient values or distinctive cultural characteristics of what has come to be the Chinese tradition.

The "Shi Ji," a grand history by Sima Qian chronicling three thousand years of Chinese history, is divided into five sections of 130 chapters. Sima Qian is especially noted for his biographical style, and his work is considered the first and only "universal history" of China. The "Han Shu," by Ban Gu, recounts the history of a single dynasty and is known for its dynastic style in depicting history. Together, these two histories represent paradigms of Chinese historiography. The "Hou Han Shu," by Fan Ye, and the "San Guo Zhi," by Chen Shou, continue this tradition of excellence. These four works are known collectively as the "Four Histories."

All texts are fully annotated to include a pinyin version marking the pronunciation of each word, glosses of each word by grammatical function and its meaning in the text, as well as detailed explication of each word. The exercises at the end of each selection are intended to help students apply newly gained knowledge, better appreciate Chinese history, and stimulate interest in additional reading.

A New Introduction to Classical Chinese introduces the reader to the Classical Chinese of the ancient world through the presentation of text passages with grammatical commentary. Beginning with Mencius, the work which purports to contain the teachings of the first great disciple of Confucius, and passages from other writers of the fourth and third centuries BC, the author progresses to selections from the great Han Dynasty historian Ssu-ma Ch'ien, who became a model for future generations of Chinese writers. This book has become a standard work for use in universities as well as for private study. The introductory material employs the Wade-Giles system of romanization, which has been used for the great majority of academic works, but the bulk of the book also offers the reader the alternative of employing the now standard Pinyin romanization. This is a redesigned re-issue of A New Introduction to Classical Chinese which in 1985 replaced the author's An Introduction to Classical Chinese first published in 1968. The notes were entirely revised and the amount of text nearly doubled. The book goes beyond the fourth century to include material from the great Han Dynasty historian Ssu-ma Ch'ien, who perfected a narrative style that became a model for future generations of Chinese writers.
