Historical Records was written by Sima Qian of the Western Han Dynasty.

The Records of the Historian is the first general history in Chinese history, with a total of 130 chapters, divided into five forms: the book, the book, the table, the family, and the biography. A type of biography, which mainly records the affairs of the princes. The author is Sima Qian in the Western Han Dynasty.

The Historical Records was written from 104 BC to 91 BC, originally there was no title, Sima Qian completed this masterpiece and gave it to the scholar Dongfang Shuo at that time, Dongfang Shuo admired it very much, and added the word "Taishi Gong" to the book. "Taishi" is Sima Qian's official position, "Gong" is a good title, and "Taishi Gong" is just a work that indicates whose work. When Ban Gu's "Hanshu Art and Literature Chronicles" was written in this book, it was changed to "One Hundred and Thirty Chapters of Taishi Gongji", and later generations simplified it to "Taishi Gongji", "Taishi Gongshu", and "Taishi Gongchuan".

The Records of the Historian originally did not have a fixed title, and was generally called "Taishi Gongshu", or "Taishi Gongji", also known as "Taishi Gong". "Historical Records" was originally a common name for ancient historical books, and since the Three Kingdoms, "Historical Records" has gradually become a special name for "Taishi Gongshu". Liang Qichao, a close friend, praised this masterpiece as "a masterpiece of the ages" ("On the General Trend of Changes in Chinese Academic Thought").

Lu Xun praised it as "the swan song of the historian, the rhymeless "Lisao" (Outline of the History of Chinese Literature).

<>Talking on paper" is explained in our current Chinese, that is, "it is useless to only talk about theories without solving practical problems." This is an idiom that we often use in our daily life.

So, I believe everyone is also curious, how did this idiom of "talking on paper" come about?

The story of talking about soldiers on paper is mainly about a general named Zhao Kuo from Zhao State, who himself has read a lot of books since he was a child, and he can boast about it every time, even his father often praises him. Later, his father died, but after Zhao Kuo really went to the battlefield, he defeated the battle, and finally made people panic, and the army returned with a miserable defeat.

Because with this story, there is the appearance of this idiom "on paper". Because although Zhao Kuo has been familiar with a lot of military books since he was a child, he has no actual combat experience. This is also often said, it is useless to only talk about theories without solving practical problems, what we want is to have a way to solve practical problems, and if we just talk about it with our mouths and fantasies in our heads, it is useless.

Only practice can get true knowledge, and you must have the ability to practice to know your true level, if you don't act on anything, just rely on your own words, then it is useless.

Therefore, it is also a warning to future generations. Whether it is in study or work, we must put into practice and work hard in order to gain something.

Therefore, the allusion of "talking about soldiers on paper" is recorded in the "Historical Records of Lian Popu Xiangtou Round Pi Ru Lie": Zhao Kuo, the son of Zhao Hao, a famous general of Zhao during the Warring States Period, was familiar with the art of war when he was young. Later, after the death of his father, he succeeded Lian Po as a Zhao general, and was defeated by the Qin army in the Battle of Changping.

The usage of this idiom can be done as a predicate, object, and definite. Antonyms are: hard work, down-to-earth.

This idiom comes from Zhao Kuo, who has been learning the art of war when he was a child, and has a lot of theoretical knowledge, but there is a problem in practice, and he doesn't know how to change it, which eventually leads to the defeat of the army.

Zhao Kuo learned the art of war since he was a child, and he couldn't do anything in the world. Try to talk extravagantly about military affairs with his father, luxury cannot be difficult, and it is not good. Kuo's mother asked the reason for luxury, and extravagance said: "Soldiers, death is also, and Kuo Yi said." So that Zhao does not bracket, that is; If it is necessary, the one who breaks the Zhao army will also be included! ”

Zhao Kuo is not only incorruptible, but also more restrained, and easy to dispose of military officials. When the Qin general heard this, he set up a surprise army, feigned defeat and left, and cut off his grain route, divided his army into two, and the soldiers were centrifuged. For more than 40 days, the army was hungry, Zhao Kuo fought by himself, and the Qin army shot Zhao Kuo.

The army was defeated, and hundreds of thousands of people surrendered to Qin, and Qin learned about it.

Translations. During the Warring States Period, Zhao Hao, the general of Zhao State, once defeated the invading Qin army with less victories, and was promoted to Shangqing by King Zhao Huiwen. He has a son named Zhao Kuo, who has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and loves to talk about military affairs, and others often can't talk about him.

Therefore, he is very arrogant and thinks he is invincible in the world. However, Zhao Hao was very worried about him, thinking that he was just talking on paper, and said: "In the future, Zhao will not use him as a general, and if he is used as a general, he will definitely make the Zhao army suffer defeat."

Sure enough, in 259 BC, the Qin army attacked again, and the Zhao army insisted on resisting the enemy in Changping (near present-day Gaoping County, Shanxi). At that time, Zhao Hao had already died. Lian Po was in charge of commanding the whole army, and although he was old, he still had a good way to fight, which made it impossible for the Qin army to win.

Qin knew that it would be detrimental to him to drag it out, so he carried out a counter-plot and sent people to Zhao State to spread the words that "the Qin army is most afraid of General Zhao Kuo, the son of Zhao Hao". King Zhao was deceived and sent Zhao Kuo to replace Lian Po. Zhao Kuo thought that he was very good at fighting, and the provisions of the book of dead soldiers were completely changed after arriving in Changping, and as a result, more than 400,000 Zhao troops were annihilated, and he himself was killed by Qin army's arrows.

The historical figure on paper is Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo, Ying surname, Zhao family, name Kuo. During the Warring States Period, he was a native of Zhao and the son of Zhao Hao, a famous general of Zhao State. Zhao Kuo is familiar with military books, but he lacks battlefield experience and does not know how to be flexible.

In the battle of Changping in the seventh year of King Zhao Xiaocheng (260 BC), King Zhao Xiaocheng was anxious to win, and the counter-plot of Qin in Zhao State replaced the veteran Lian Po with Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuoyi reversed Lian Po's strategy, changed defense to attack, and took the initiative to attack the Qin army on all fronts in Changping (now northwest of Gaoping, Shanxi).

The Qin general Bai Qi divided his troops into two ways: he feinted defeat all the way and attracted the Zhao army around the Qin army's ramparts; Cut off the back road of the Zhao army all the way, and implemented counter-encirclement, so that the Zhao army's grain route was cut off and trapped in Changping. In the end, the Zhao army did not eat for 46 days, and broke through five times in four ways, Zhao Kuo personally led the warriors to break through, killed the enemy bravely, was shot and killed by the Qin army, hundreds of thousands of Zhao soldiers surrendered, and were later killed by the Qin army.
