*''Compiled: [[1066]]-[[1084]], [[Sima Guang]]''
''The Comprehensive Mirror for Aid in Government'' (''Zīzhì Tōngjiàn'') is regarded as the first history of China to incorporate differing accounts or interpretations of events rather than presenting a single official narrative. It was compiled by [[Sima Guang]], who began the project in [[1066]] at the orders of the [[Yingzong Emperor]], finishing in [[1084]].
The text, in 294 volumes, covers the reigns of 113 emperors over the period from 403 BCE to [[959]] CE.
