Book of Chen

Book of Chen

The "Book of Chen" (Traditional Chinese: 陳書; pinyin: Chén Shū) was the official history of the Chinese dynasty Chen Dynasty. It ranks among the official Twenty-Four Histories of imperial China, and was compiled by the Tang Dynasty historian Yao Silian, completed in 636.

Similar to Book of Liang, it is also heavily relied on Yao Silian's father Yao Ca's original manuscript.

The book is one of the more complete record of Chen Dynasty that has come down to the present. However, it is being criticised for attempting to cover up the wrong doings of the royal family. A commentary by the Tang Dynasty's prime minister, Wei Zheng which is also included in the book, contradicts strongly some of the claims made by the book.
