what does history mean
It is a secular (non-religious) synonym for "Before Christ" (BC), which is the method of referring to years prior to the year 1. For example, Julius Caesar of the Roman Empire died in 45 BC, or 45 BCE. Both "BC" and "BCE" are interchangeable, and refer to the exact same year. Just as "BCE" is used to replace "BC", the acronym "CE" is used to replace "AD".
The first written history was recorded on Oracle Bone script,but the authors are unknown (and are various). The known author that started recording Chinese history was Zuo Qiuming (pronounced zoy cheuming),back in 5 century BC.
