The Most Venerable Book (also known as The Book of History) is one of the Five
Classics. For many centuries it was a central work for anyone wishing to work
for the Imperial administration, with its prestige stemming from the belief that
it had been assembled by Confucius himself. The First Emperor tried to have all
copies destroyed because of its subversive implication that 'the Mandate of
Heaven' could be withdrawn from rulers who failed their people. For similar
reasons it was also banned by Mao. Extraordinarily, it has been revived by the
Chinese government of the 2010s.
