《宋史》撰修于元末,从至正三年(1343年)三月到至正五年(1345年)十月,历时两年半,匆匆成书。它在史料的裁剪、史实的考订、文字的修饰、全书体例等方面存在不少缺点,在二十五史中有繁芜杂乱之称。尽管存在不少缺点,但是它卷帙浩繁,叙事详尽,有很高的史料价值。中华书局校点本,在史实的 “History of the Songs” was written in late Yuan Dynasty. It went from three months (1343) to the fifth year (1345) in October of the third year, and lasted for two and a half years. It has many shortcomings in the cutting of historical materials, the historical examination of the text, the modification of the text, the style of the whole book, and so on. Although there are many shortcomings, but it is voluminous, narrative exhaustive, has a high historical value. Zhonghua Book Company school, in the historical facts
