in ten volumes and 225 chapters. The work was compiled by a team of scholars of the <a href="/wiki/Song_dynasty" title="Song dynasty">Song dynasty</a>, led by <a href="/wiki/Ouyang_Xiu" title="Ouyang Xiu">Ouyang Xiu</a> and <a href="/wiki/Song_Qi" title="Song Qi">Song Qi</a>. </p><p>It was originally simply called the <i>Tangshu</i> (唐書, <a href="/wiki/Book_of_Tang" class="mw-disambig" title="Book of Tang">Book of Tang</a>) until the 18th century. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=New_Book_of_Tang&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In Chinese history, it was customary for dynasties to compile histories of their immediate predecessor as a means of cementing their own legitimacy.

This led them to change the original wordings in the documents that they quoted in the book. However, in the reduction, the direct use of Tang court records was lost, some reduced passages were unclear, and many errors were introduced in attempting to find more 'ancient' words to rephrase the Tang originals.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Annals">Annals</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=New_Book_of_Tang&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Annals"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The annals of the Tang emperors are covered in volumes 1–10.

The section on Rites and Music (<span title="Chinese-language text"><span lang="zh-Hant">禮樂</span></span>) is the largest occupying 12 volumes (11-22). The <i>New Book of Tang</i> was the first of the standard histories to include a treatise on selecting and appointing officials (<span title="Chinese-language text"><span lang="zh-Hant">選擧志</span></span>). This included a description of the examination system, which had become an increasingly important aspect of recruiting officials in the Tang, especially after 780. <sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTETwitchett200990–91_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTETwitchett200990–91-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Tables">Tables</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=New_Book_of_Tang&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Tables"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The tables are contained in volumes 61–75. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Biographies">Biographies</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=New_Book_of_Tang&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Biographies"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Four biographies of women appear in this new book that were not present in the first <i><a href="/wiki/Old_Book_of_Tang" title="Old Book of Tang">Old Book of Tang</a></i>.
