Five Character Mirror
The Five-Character Mirror (simplified Chinese: 五字鉴; traditional Chinese: 五字鑒; pinyin: wǔzì jiàn), originally named Proper Commentaries to the Concise Mirror (simplified Chinese: 鉴略妥注; traditional Chinese: 鑒略妥注; pinyin: jiànlüè tuǒzhù), is a Ming dynasty children's primer compiling the history of China from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period up to the Ming dynasty. It was written by Li Tingji (李廷機), courtesy name Erzhang (爾張), and Zou Shengmai (鄒聖脉), the latter of whom supplemented the text with annotations and Qing dynasty content.
