Historical Records is the first biographical general history in the history of China.
The author is Sima Qian of the Western Han Dynasty. Historical Records, a total of 130, is divided into five parts: biography, book, table, family and biography. 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. When recording this book, Ban Gu's Records of Han Shu Literature and Art was changed to 130 articles of Taishi Gong, and later generations simplified it into Taishi Gong Ji, Taishi Gong Shu and Taishi Gong Zhuan. At first, there was no fixed title for historical records, generally called Taishi Gongshu, or Taishi Gongshu, also known as Taishi Gongshu. 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")
