In ancient China, there were many books that recorded non-state political life, including some novels. For example," Dream of the Red Chamber " was a novel about the aristocratic society of the Qing Dynasty, but it also contained some descriptions of folk life.

The Yuan Dynasty (1271 - 1368) was a dynasty in Chinese history. Its name came from the ruler of the Mongol people, Yuan Taizu Genghis Khan. The territory of the Yuan Dynasty was unprecedentedly vast. It stretched from the Sea of Japan in the east to Tianshan Mountain in the west, Lake Baikal in the north, and Siam in the south. It became one of the most extensive dynasties in Chinese history. The history books of the Yuan Dynasty were mainly divided into two parts: official history and unofficial history. Official History The official history of the Yuan Dynasty was written by the government and was called the History of the Yuan Dynasty. The 13 volumes of the History of Yuan Dynasty recorded the life stories of the royal family, political figures, military generals, and cultural celebrities of the Yuan Dynasty. It was the first comprehensive history book in Chinese history that recorded a dynasty. 2 Unofficial History Unofficial history referred to some notes, novels, legends, and other literary works that were not officially authorized but were widely circulated. Sometimes, they would be adapted or processed into literary works with unique styles and tendencies. Among the history books of the Yuan Dynasty, the History of the Yuan Dynasty was considered one of the most authoritative and important history books. Other important history books included: - "A concise history of the Yuan Dynasty": This is a concise history of the Yuan Dynasty, a total of 25 volumes, written by the Qing Dynasty scholar Jin Nong. - New History of the Yuan Dynasty: This is a 36-volume history of the Yuan Dynasty written by scholars in the later period of the Yuan Dynasty.

The Yuan Dynasty history books did not refer to itself as China because the Yuan Dynasty (1271 - 1368) was a dynasty in Chinese history. Its territory included the Mongolian grasslands in the north and the Jiangnan area in the south. Although the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty often referred to China as "China", their history books and documents did not directly refer to themselves as China. On the contrary, historical records and documents of the Yuan Dynasty often used terms such as "Zhonghua" or "Tianxia" to refer to the entire region of China. For example, the first chapter of the History of the Yuan Dynasty begins with: "From the Yuan Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, officials such as the president of the court, the review, and the prison were called the Great Empire of China." The meaning of this sentence was that the Yuan Dynasty was a great empire established in the "China" region and thought that it was the ruler of the entire China region. Although the Yuan Dynasty history books did not directly refer to themselves as China, by using terms such as "China" or "the world", the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty tried to show that their rule covered the entire Chinese region, which was also one of the common political propaganda strategies in Chinese history.

The Yuan Dynasty was the dynasty with the largest territory in our country's history, but it was not recorded in the history books. This was a very interesting question. In fact, although the territory of the Yuan Dynasty was very large, it was a relatively short dynasty that only existed for 12 years, so its historical records were not rich. The Yuan Dynasty (1271 - 1368) was a dynasty in Chinese history. Its territory mainly included present-day northern China, Siberia, Central Asia, West Asia, and parts of Europe. The ruler of the Yuan Dynasty was Kublai Khan, who implemented a series of important political, economic, and cultural reforms that promoted exchanges and cooperation between China and the world. However, the short history and complicated political situation of the Yuan Dynasty also made its records relatively limited. The Yuan Dynasty had a central political power, but the local control was relatively weak, which led to the separation and chaos of local forces. In addition, the expansion of the Yuan Dynasty's territory also led to some wars and conflicts, making its records more scattered and brief. Therefore, although the territory of the Yuan Dynasty was very large, its historical records were relatively limited, which was one of the marks it left in Chinese history.
