Classical Chinese translation. A passage from Sikuquanshu

Written by Sima Qian in Han Dynasty, supplemented by Chu. Sima Qian's deeds are specially recorded in Biography of Han History. As for Chu, according to Zhang Yan quoted in Zhang Shoujie's Justice, he is considered to be a native of Yingchuan (now Yuzhou, Henan Province), Yuan and a doctor in Han Dynasty. He also quoted Chu Family Biography as saying that Chu is the grandson of Chu, the prime minister of Liang Dynasty. When Emperor Gaozu Xuan Di was a doctor, he lived in Pei County (present-day Jiangsu Province) and sought advice from Confucian scholars in the Han Dynasty, so he was called Mr ... These two statements are different. However, the last few years of Xuan Di were no more than seventeen or eighteen years, far from the early days of the emperor, and they were not far apart. Sima Qian's preface consists of twelve biographies, ten tables, eight books, thirty schools and seventy biographies, and it is considered that the total number of * * * is 130. According to the legend of Hanshu, he is short of ten articles, and there are records but no books. Zhang Yan noticed that after Sima Qian's death, he lost Jing Di Ji, Wu Di Ji, Li Shu, Le Shu, The Book of War, Chronicle of Generals Since Han Dynasty, Biography of Japanese People, Family of Three Kings, Biography of Turtle and Biography of Fujin. Liu Zhiji's Shi Tong thinks that ten articles are not books, but records, which refutes Zhang Yan's statement and thinks that it is incorrect. Now, the textual research on the two biographies of "Japan and Turtle Policy" shows that there are two biographies, "Gong Yue, a Taishi" and "Mr. Chu Yue", which are the evidences of the incomplete manuscripts, and we can know that Liu Zhiji's statement is correct. However, what about Han Zhi? There are 130 Historical Records in Chunqiu Jia, but its shortcomings are not mentioned, probably because the official version at that time adopted the articles continued by Chu and merged them into one.

If you look at Biography of Japanese People and Turtle Tactics Part II, if there is something like "When I am A Lang", you must have remonstrated, so that's why you have such a title. The words "Mr. Chu Yue" above were probably carved by later generations to distinguish them from others. According to Zhou Mi's History of Dong Qiye, in Sima Xiangru's biography, there is a saying that "Yang Xiong thinks he is a beautiful gift, but he counsels all but satirizes one". There is also a record in Gongzhuan that "Ping Di conferred the title of descendants of Hong in the early Yuan Dynasty".

Jiao Hong's Bi Cheng records that "Jia Jia is the best to learn, and he was nine years old when he was filial" in Jia Yi Biography. This is not what Sima Qian had time to see. Wang Chan's Miscellaneous Works of Hundred Fields also said that historical records end in years, and there is no title. Now there is a line in the Chronicle of Twelve Governors that records Geng Shen and Jia Zi, which were added by later generations. Then the historical records are not only lost, but also tampered with. It was a long time ago, and now it is impossible to prove it. But sometimes the confusion of words is inevitable, and the whole book is the original work of Sima Qian. According to Zhang Tang's Notes on Praise for Chun, Jiao Hong thinks that harmony is a supplement to Historical Records. According to the Book of the Later Han Dynasty? Yang Jingchuan thinks that Sima Qian's words have been deleted by hundreds of thousands of words, and that the current historical records are not original works, not true. Since the Jin and Tang Dynasties, there has been little difference in the versions of Historical Records. It was only in the twenty-third year of Kaiyuan in the Tang Dynasty that it was promoted to historical records? The Biography of Laozi is above the Biography of Boyi. Qian Ceng's "Reading Qiu Minji" said that there are also Song engravings, but I haven't seen them yet. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Guanghan's editors deleted the sequel to Chu, and Zhao criticized it for being incomplete and attached it to other journals. I haven't seen it yet. Only this version is popular in the world. As for the "learning money" quoted by pseudo-Sun Ying in Mencius Book, it is gone now. It was probably the people in the Song Dynasty who forged ancient books, not the flaws in the current version. In Xue Hai Lei Bian, there is also a record of a volume of Biography of Historical Records by a pseudo-Hongzun. It is speculated that the original book was cut when it was published, calling it an old manuscript moved to a famous mountain. This incident is similar to King Liang Poyang's Han Shu Zhen Jing, which is absurd and unfounded. Only Pei Zhi, Sima Zhen and Zhang Shoujie exist as annotations of Historical Records. At first, these notes were all separate books, and it was not until the Northern Song Dynasty that they were merged into one book. The version printed in imperial academy in the Ming Dynasty has undergone a lot of revisions and deletions. The Southern Bamboo Slips Biography of Huang San, supplemented by Sima Zhen, was placed above Biography of Five Emperors and lost its original style. But Huihe Group said it was easier to find, so now we record the merged copy for easy viewing. There are still three other books that keep their complete versions.

Please forgive me for not doing all the handspring and handspring.
