The Records of the Grand Historian
The Records of the Grand Historian (史记) is China's first chronicle of the Grand Historian, written by Sima Qian (司马迁). It records the history (political, military, economic, cultural, etc.) of more than 3,000 years from the time of the ancient legend of the Yellow Emperor down to the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the year Yuanhao Yuan***. The Records of the Grand Historian taught me many stories, such as: Shennong (Emperor Yan), who tasted all kinds of herbs for the people; Xuan Yuan (Emperor Huang), who pacified the world's chaos; and Dayu (Yu), a hero who ruled the water for thirteen years without entering his house. There is also the story of Guan Zhong who shot and wounded Duke Huan of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but was still reused by Duke Huan of Qi and accomplished Duke Huan's hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period at that time, which reflected Duke Huan of Qi's generosity before he made the vassals submissive to him; the story of Lin Xiangru, who returned Lian Po's jade and biscuits to Zhao, who defended the dignity of King Huiwen of Zhao at the meeting in Mianchi and was made a big official by the King of Zhao. Lian Po to take the initiative to apologize. General Han Xin, who assisted Liu Bang to establish the Han Dynasty, endured the humiliation of his crotch when he was a teenager due to the threat of others, and also suffered the favor of a floating mother, and did not forget to repay the favor when he became a general by sending the floating mother many food and wine, and rewarding her with 1,000 taels of gold
After finishing the Records of the Grand Historian, it was as if he had watched a magnificent historical film, and he was y attracted by the characters therein, and he also grew the necessary historical knowledge and enriched his mind without realizing it. The necessary historical knowledge, enriched the mind, worthy of being called by Mr. Lu Xun, "the masterpiece of the historians, unhyphenated riot".
When I was a child, my mother told me the story of the "Historical Records", and since then, I have been looking forward to meeting with the "Historical Records" one day, recently, my mother bought me a copy of the "Historical Records", I was very happy, and hastily picked up the book and read it with gusto. Through reading, I learned that the Shiji is the first chronicle of historical scholarship, which recounts historical events from the time of the Yellow Emperor all the way to the time of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. In the Historical Records, I was most impressed by the character of Qin Shi Huang, the earliest emperor of China, who was credited with the unification of China. In the political aspect, Qin Shi Huang abolished the feudal system, changed the county system, and promulgated new laws; in the economic aspect, Qin Shi Huang unified the national coinage system and the measurement system. On the economic front, Qin Shi Huang unified the national coinage system and weights and measures system. He also built two major roads, "East to the Sea" and "South to Wu and Chu", so that troops could be sent to suppress any rebellion; on the military front, Qin Shi Huang sent his troops to fight against the Xiong Nu, and built the Great Wall of 10,000 Miles by linking up the Great Walls in the north of the three kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, and Yan; furthermore, he also unified the cultural ideology. cultural thinking, Qin Shi Huang also unified the script.
But although Qin Shi Huang contributed to history, he was brutal to the working people. He "burned the books and pitted the scholars", killed more than 400 Confucian scholars in Xianyang, and ordered to burn the writings of the hundreds of scholars, which caused a great loss to the history of China. After reading "The Records of the Grand Historian", I also learned about other historical figures, such as Qu Yuan, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang Uprising, and Xiang Yu, the king of Chu, and so on, and the historical picture is in front of my eyes. This book let me grow a lot of knowledge, and now I know that "The Records of the Grand Historian" is not only a great literary work, but also a profound literary work. The Records of the Grand Historian, let me feel the Chinese history and culture is how magnificent, but also make me the knowledge of the history and culture of our Chinese people to increase the sense of pride.
After reading "The Records of the Grand Historian" IIIAs the saying goes, "Reading history makes one wise." Reading history books, learning from history, can identify the past to know the future. In the vast ocean of Chinese historical books, the "Records of the Grand Historian" is undoubtedly one of the most brilliant pearl. Sima Qian to "study the sky and people, through the changes of the past and present,
into a family of words," the historical knowledge, wrote the historical record. It is the first chronicle of China's history, which records the history of more than three years from the time of the Yellow Emperor in the ancient legend to the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
In the Historical Records, my favorite fragment is the Yin Benji, in which Zhou is gifted, eloquent, fast-moving, receptive, and so strong that he can fight fierce beasts with his bare hands. He was wise enough to refuse the advice of his ministers, and his words were enough to cover up his faults. He boasted of his talents before his ministers, and exalted himself everywhere with his prestige, believing that all the people in the world were inferior to him. He was addicted to wine, debauchery and pleasure, and favored women. He especially favored Daji and obeyed her in everything. He asked the musician Juan to make new music for him, Beili dance songs and soft songs. He increased taxes and piled up the former treasury of the Deer Terrace to the brim with money....... He was such a capable man, able to write and fight. But so desultory!
Sima Qian's characters are all vivid, with distinctive personalities. The vivid language and beautiful words make the reader feel as if they are in a beautiful mood. With the ups and downs of the plot, my mood is also changing for it. I was happy with the main character's joy, sad with the main character's sorrow, and felt the main character's feelings. The light and humorous language and the tense and exciting plot seemed to bring me to that distant era. The background characteristics of each era; the customs of each country; the customs of each nation are expressed in the "Records of the Grand Historian" in a vivid and colorful way. Read the "Records of the Grand Historian", you will find more interesting wonders!
Among the many books that my teacher has prescribed for extensive reading, this one is my favorite because it contains historical stories that can change people's hearts.
There are three main categories in the Shiji: the Chronicles, the Shijia, and the Lianzhuan. My favorite story is "Zhao Sheng's Cherishing Talent" in the Biography of Prince Ping Yuan, which reflects the noble character of Prince Ping Yuan, Zhao Sheng, who knew his mistakes and cherished his talents.
Sima Qian, the author of The Records of the Grand Historian (史记), was a minister of history in the Han Dynasty. I admire him very much, firstly, because it is remarkable that he could read a lot of books and summarize so many historical stories. Secondly, it is because he could add those few inspiring words after the philosophical historical stories, which is really impossible to criticize and marvel at!
After the `story' of `Han Xin's Murder', Tai Shi Gong wrote: If Han Xin could be humble and retiring, not boasting of his own merits, not concealing his own talents, that would be about right. I used to think that Han Xin was a hero, but it turned out that he also had a cocky side, which made me reacquaint myself with him. From this, I realized a truth, talented people, since they have shown their light, do not be too proud, or it will have the opposite effect.
The Records of the Grand Historian contains many such stories, which made me realize the truth of life. This book has uplifted my spirit, taught me many things, inspired my life, and changed my mind completely!
After reading the "Records of the Grand Historian" fiveHave been thinking about what kind of a historian this is: the text is straight, the matter is nuclear. The smell of books overflowing with ink makes it impossible for me to imagine the toughness of those carved into bamboo slips, but that is not false beauty, not hidden evil words still unfold the long scroll of history to me. Those sealed and sunken memories in the swaying light and shadow of the hidden, across infinite time and space I saw the hero Xiang Yu's cowardice, see the villain Liu Bang's greatness, understand the general's small-mindedness, listening to the water of the Xiao Xiao wail.
No gold is perfect, no one is perfect. Memory of those shining light, here has long faded from the holy. Here there is no perfect, only a great man standing on the tip of the historical wave. "Man" what a rare name. To all the people present "the divine right of kings" ridiculous. In his "Records of the Grand Historian", there are no emperors, no generals, but only Liu Bang and Li Guang. Maybe the words are wrong, this "Records of the Grand Historian" itself is perfect, perfect and flawless. Because it has Sima Qian's straight writing, because it has Sima Qian's adherence to the truth. He has made it "through the changes of the past and the present, into one family's words." I saw the figure of the long letter lamp holding tightly to the lonely heart to write down the words.
I heard that people will become stars in the sky after death. Will the brightest one be Sima Qian's eyes? I hold the "Historical Records" into the history of two thousand years later.
I think we have all heard the saying, "I am a man of honor, and I will die a man of honor". To this day, I think of Xiang Yu, refusing to cross the river." Li Qingzhao's poem praises Xiang Yu's spirit of preferring to die rather than live. But after reading the book "Five Thousand Years Up and Down", I have another view of Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu was a great hero. He was a man of great martial arts, dared to "break the cauldron and sink the boat", put his life before death, I admire his courage and bravery. I admire his courage and bravery. When he watched the travel of Qin Shi Huang, he dared to say that he could "take his place". Who would dare to make such a bold statement as he did? From this point of view, Xiang Yu is indeed a hero.
But Xiang Yu is a failed hero. First of all, I think he did not pay attention to cultural learning, and only advocated force. He even thought that reading is useless, as long as you can write your own name is already enough. But he didn't realize that there are some aspects of ignorance without learning. Whether it is leading soldiers to fight or governing the country, won't ignorance be a stumbling block?
Secondly, I think he is not good at employing people. Zhang Liang and Han Xin have all defected to him, but he can't even know who is good at what he does, so that these two rare talents are used by Liu Bang, and he has beaten himself to death. Xiang Yu was also a hero who was not good at summarizing the reasons for his failure. Xiang Yu said before his death, "Heaven is going to kill me", but he did not find out the reason from himself. Xiang Yu heroes, but the courage of the heroes, can not harness the world's heroes, to the death of their own weaknesses can not be recognized, but only self-deceived the reasons for the failure attributed to the sky, really sad ah!

Read the "Historical Records", I am happy when I was a child, my father told me to read the "Historical Records", said that this is a classic work, I do not know what is the classic, but just like the book of the wonderful story.

This book is simple, vivid language, the characters portrayed vividly: the ambition of the Liu Bang, the courage of the Xiang Yu, have suffered crotch humiliation of Han Xin, resourceful Zhang Liang ...... they for the wonderful story of the Historical Records, laying the groundwork. One of my favorites is the ambitious Liu Bang, although he is from a lowly background, oily character, but was able to overthrow the tyrannical Qin, established the Han Empire. This is because Liu Bang was a generous man who liked to give and was broad-minded. Once, he escorted people to do hard labor, and because of his kind heart, he released all the hard laborers.
People were so grateful to him that they went up the mountain with him to hide. This shows that as long as you have a good heart, there will be someone to help you in times of crisis. This piece of wonderful stories, all let a person evocative, let you in a small story, understand the big culture, know the big history. The author Sima Qian studied hard since he was young and accumulated a lot of historical information. After his father's death, he was even more determined to write, but at that time, he was in the era of war, Li Ling was defeated and captured because he was outnumbered by the enemy. Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty was furious and wanted to exterminate Li Ling's nine clans, the ministers all agreed with him, only Sima Qian defended Li Ling, offended Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty and was sent to prison and tortured, Sima Qian wanted to splash his blood on the wall a few times, but he still encouraged himself: there is a death, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a goose feather, I have to live. In this way, Sima Qian insisted on XX years finally completed this unprecedented brilliant work, "The Records of the Grand Historian".

"The Records of the Grand Historian"
"The Records of the Grand Historian" is known as "The Historian's greatest hits, the unhyphenated Li Sao." Close the book, the stories in the book y attracted me, in which "Zhou Yuwang Beacon fire play all the vassals." This story y shocked me.
The story is about the monarch, King Yu of Zhou, who ate, drank and plundered beautiful women all day long, and was not interested in managing the government. The minister offered a beautiful girl, Baosi, to King Yu of Zhou, but Baosi was sullen all day and never showed a smile. King Yu could not get a smile from Bergsie no matter what. Then, an ass-kisser named Guo Shifu came up with a bad idea: King Yu should bring his wife to Mt. Li for a few days, and then light up the beacon fire at night, so that the lords would come to his rescue. Sure enough, at night, the lords saw the beacon fire and rushed to the city. But when they arrived at Haojing, they realized that it was just a game. When Baosi saw everyone messing around for nothing, she really found it funny and smiled a little. Soon, the western Injun really invaded Haojing. King You hurriedly sent his men to light a beacon fire to ask for help from the lords of the four directions, but this time everyone thought that it was just a game too, and none of them believed in it. So, a large group of Injun snatched beautiful women and many gold, silver and jewels before retreating back. As a result, they suffered heavy losses and King You was killed.
After reading this story, I couldn't help but sigh y for King You. I suddenly remembered the story of "The Wolf Came", the sheep herding children are not also like Zhou Yu Wang first lied that the danger is coming, causing people on the edge of the side of the people with props to come to the rescue, and finally realized that it is a waste of time. When the danger really came, people did not believe him, and finally paid a big price, and even lost his life.
In life is the same, if you lie, then you lose people's trust, but also lost the most basic substance in life - integrity. If you want to talk about the loss of integrity, just casually lie, which is very easy to do, when you regret, try to undo this when it becomes very difficult. When you lose it, you can do it in the twinkling of an eye; when you get it back, it will take you ten or eight years to get it. If you lose integrity, you can't do as much as you want to do in life. You go to the neighborhood store to buy things, others will not give you credit; you go to someone else's home as a guest, others will be on guard against you; you walk on the street, others point and talk about you.
Honesty, the traditional virtues of the Chinese people, but also a person in this society, the basis of the establishment. Let the flower of honesty open everywhere, the world becomes a better place!
Last night, I finished reading the largest part of the "Records of the Grand Historian" in the biography of the chapter, after covering the volume of a long time can not sleep, for the silence of the long river of history, those who have been noisy in the smoke and fire in the peaks of the Lords and Ministers, those who have been disturbed in the harem feuds of the great beauty. Thoughts a thousand, but long can not speak, within the emotional accumulation of retrospective reversal between the lips and teeth but powerless to open. I think, indeed, the depths of love if seemingly nothing.
"The Records of the Grand Historian" in more than half a million words recorded since the ancient legend of the Yellow Emperor era, to the years of Han Wuyuan **** more than 3,000 years of history, the recorded dynastic turnover, the fate of many characters also gently passed. Therefore, this post is said to be the "Historical Records", which has many characters fate or see my previous read the "East Zhou Lieguo Zhi".
Like a hundred people can see a hundred Hamlets, "The Records of the Grand Historian" in the reader is also a thousand feelings, the commander learned from the method of mastery of the subjects, the subjects learned from the way for the minister for the official, and such as me and other laymen are particularly concerned about the history of the book of the women of the past generations.
The Historical Records is like a piece of brocade soaked in blood, and I was saddened to find one or two of them in full bloom.
Sima Qian lived in a feudal era where women were treated as an accessory to men, to be owned and disposed of at will. This is why there are so many bloody dispatches of women throughout the book. Shen Ge used his two daughters to be buried as martyrs for the downtrodden emperor Chu Ling Wang, Wu Qi chopped off his wife for the sake of serving his country, and Ping Yuan Jun, the son of Zhao, chopped off his concubine for the sake of buying the heart of a scholar, and so on and so forth, etc. Women were just an object of a man's hand.
These can not be blamed on Sima Qian, he is just a copy of history, I so resent him in his evaluation of Han Wu, that is, his true thoughts.
Sima Qian's assessment of this brutality is particularly chilling to me, and I'm going to turn his ancient text into my vernacular: Isn't this (Han Wu's act of killing his concubines) what a sage and wise ruler should do? Han Wu's notorious foresight, far-sightedness for future generations, indeed, not those poorly informed fools can understand, its posthumous name for the Wu, indeed, is not a waste of time.
Most of the women mentioned in the Records of the Grand Historian were ill-fated, and their lives were more like the autumn winds and falling leaves, not as detailed as they should have been.
However, there are one or two women in the Historical Records who made Sima Qian look at them in a different light: the peach blossom lady Xi Gui, and the woman Zhuo Wenjun, a woman who sold wine in a clay kiln.
Although Xi Gui didn't escape her fate, she was a rare example of Sima Qian using a positive tone to describe a different kind of person.
Perhaps due to this mindset of his predecessors, Wang Wei was able to write, "I don't want to forget the old favor. The flower is full of tears, not **** the king of Chu's words," the infatuation and determination.
"The Records of the Grand Historian" really got Sima Qian heart of the woman only Zhuo Wenjun, this kind of like without modification, let me can not help but guess, from the age to analyze, perhaps Sima Qian and Zhuo Wenjun had in a certain year and a certain day in a certain street lane rubbed, Sima Qian unconscious and then doomed to the "Records of the Grand Historian" of the rare stunning, Wenjun's rate of talent may have also let Sima Qian haunting!
Wen Zhuo's ending is wonderful, and Sima Xiangru hand in hand with the old man, so I can not help but think of the "Poetry Peach" in a few words "Peach is premature, burning its splendor, the son of the return, suitable for their families. Peach's premature, abundant in fact, the son of the return, suitable for his family. The peach is very young, its leaves are very abundant, the son of the return, the family of his family.
A woman "burning its splendor" of the first marriage, "abundant in fact" of the maturity of the family, "its leaves, nicco," the many children and grandchildren, although vulgar, can also penetrate, which is the path of a woman to follow the cycle. The woman's path of reincarnation.
When all the glory and wealth dissipate, fate opens its palm to announce the final answer, perhaps all of us would rather not have a prominent and charming face, as long as we can avoid the suffering of the world, the ridicule of the next generation, we would rather be an inconspicuous ordinary people!
