Zizhi Tongjian (kineski: 資治通鑒 / 资治通鉴, pinyin: Zīzhì Tōngjiàn, transliteracija: Cu-ćih T'ung-ćien) tj. „Sveobuhvatno zrcalo pomoći vladanju” je jedan od najznačajnijih tekstova kineske historiografije, originalno izdani 1084. godine u obliku kronika na svitcima. Godine 1065. car Yingzong od Songa je naredio povijesničaru Sima Guangu (1019.–1086.) da zajedno s drugim učenjacima, među kojima su bili Liu Shu, Liu Ban i Fan Zuyu,[1] sačini zbirku sveopće povijesti Kine. Taj zadatak je obavljen za 19 godina,[1] a 1084. godine je predstavljen Yingzongovom nasljedniku caru Shenzongu. Zizhi Tongjian daje prikaz povijesti Kine od 403. pr. Kr. do 959. god., pri čemu je pokriveno 16 dinastija i 1363 godina,[1] u 24 toma (巻) s oko 3 milijuna kineskih znakova.
