Are Sima Qian and Sima Guang related?

It doesn't seem to be, it's just my own family.

Sima Qian was a historian, writer, and politician in the Western Han Dynasty, and was a native of Xiayang (now Hancheng, Shaanxi). His most important historical achievement was the writing of the first general history of China, the Records of the Historians. Sima Guang was a historian and politician of the Song Dynasty.

He was born in Xia County, Shaanzhou (now part of Shanxi Province) in Lianshui Township. His most important historical achievement was the writing of China's first chronicle of the general history of Zizhi Tongjian. In addition, his conservative political views led him to oppose the reform led by Wang Anshi and others at that time, which was also an important reason for his fame.

Both of them have the surname Sima, but they can only have a collateral connection in the family. Because Sima Qian offended Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty because of Li Ling's affairs, he was sentenced to palace punishment and lost his fertility. According to research, Sima Qian had no son, only one daughter.

Sima Qian and Sima Guang have nothing to do with each other. It is the people of two dynasties and historical periods. It's just that nowadays people think that there is something to do with the same surname as long as they see the same surname, such as father and son, mother and daughter, father and daughter, relatives, etc.

No, the surname Sima is based on the official name, and before Sima Guang, there were many people who had been the big Sima, and some people took it as their surname.

It's just the same surname, and it may be a little related, just like the surname Zhang and the surname Zhang are not related. For more information, you can check it on the Internet.

No, the age is different. And the books they wrote recorded different years of history.
