The New History of the Five Dynasties (Traditional Chinese: 新五代史; pinyin: Xīn Wǔdài Shi) is a history of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period of Chinese history. It was written by the Song Dynasty official Ouyang Xiu and completed in 1053. It is one of the official Twenty-Four Histories of China. The book is being criticised of almost starting every chapter with the word (Simplified Chinese:呜乎; pinyin: Wu Hu), literally means 'Oh, No'. Ouyang Xiu is also guilty of attempting to copy the style of writing of Spring and Autumn Annals, making some of his prose confusing and barely understandable. english translation: historical records of the five dynasties, translated by richard l. davis. columbia university press, 2004.
