一孔录The video for this lecture is still in production. For now this page gives the text, the base-edition pages, a recording and a translation.
廿二史，全在茲，載治亂，知興衰。讀史者，考實錄，通古今，若親目。口而誦，心而惟，朝於斯，夕於斯。TrTranslation
廿二史，全在茲，載治亂，知興衰。
The Twenty-two Histories all are here, recording order and disorder so that we know why states rise and fall.
讀史者，考實錄，通古今，若親目。
Whoever reads history should study the true records, linking past and present as if seeing it with their own eyes.
口而誦，心而惟，朝於斯，夕於斯。
Recite it with your mouth and think it through in your mind, in the morning and again at night.
Draft translation; it will be revised when the lecture is filmed.
Compared with Wang Xiang's edition
Group 76 廿二史，全在茲，載治亂，知興衰。
Wang Xiang's edition has “Seventeen Histories”. As more dynastic histories were added, popular editions changed it to “Twenty-two”; the lecture notes follow them.
From the Father's Lecture Notes
After eleven weeks of dynasties, this lecture looks back and asks: what is the use of reading all this, and how should it be read? The answer is six characters: recite with the mouth, think with the mind. Say it aloud, and think it over.
Translated from Yikonglu's Father's Lecture Notes for the Three Character Classic, written for a parent teaching a child.
