Historical Records is the first biographical general history in the history of China, with a book 130, which is divided into five forms: biography, book, table, family and biography. A biography, mainly about princes. The author is Sima Qian of the Western Han Dynasty. Historical Records was written from 104 BC to 9 1 year BC. At first, it had no title. After Sima Qian finished this masterpiece, he showed it to Dong Fangshuo, a great scholar at that time. Dong Fangshuo appreciated it so much that he added the word "Tai Shigong" to his book. "Taishigong" is Sima Qian's official position, "Gong" is a good name, and "Taishigong" just shows whose works. Ban Gu's Records of Han Shu Literature and Art was changed to 130 Taishi Gong, and later generations simplified it into Taishi Gong, Taishi Gong Shu and Taishi Gong Zhuan. At first, Historical Records had no fixed title. Generally known as "Taishi Gongshu" or "Taishi Gongji", it is also called "Taishi Gongji" in the province. Historical Records was originally the general name of ancient history books. Since the Three Kingdoms, Historical Records has gradually become the proper name of Taishi Gongshu. Liang Qichao, a close friend, praised this masterpiece as "a masterpiece through the ages" (On the General Trend of the Changes of China's Academic Thoughts). Lu Xun praised it as "the historian's swan song, Li Sao has no rhyme" ("Outline of China Literature History")
Historical records are very detailed, different from other historical records, and written with a sense of literature. This is a good book worth reading.
Above, hope to adopt.
