Ask for the detailed story of Sima Qian s travels

1. Sima Qianzi inherited his father's ambition and succeeded Taishi Ling. In his early years, he studied with Kong Anguo and Dong Zhongshu, roaming all over the world, understanding customs and collecting rumors. In the first year of Taichu (104 BC), Sima Qian began the creation of the Taishi Gongshu, which was later known as the Historical Records.

2. However, there was an accident, in the third year of the Tianhan Dynasty (98 years ago), Li Ling was defeated and surrendered to the Xiongnu, and Sima Qian was imprisoned for defending the matter to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and was sentenced to palace punishment, which gave him great trauma physically and mentally.

3. After being released from prison, he endured humiliation and dirt, worked hard to continue to complete the historical books he wrote, and with his historical knowledge of "studying heaven and man, through the changes of the past and the present, and becoming the words of a family", he went through 14 years before and after, and created China's first general history of the chronicle "Historical Records".

The main purpose is to broaden their horizons, understand the customs, humanities and history of various places, and pave the way for the completion of the "Historical Records".

Sima Qian felt that "it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books.""From the age of 20, Sima Qian traveled all over the country to prepare for the writing of the "Historical Records". Everywhere he went, he personally conducted field trips and obtained a lot of first-hand information. These materials laid a theoretical and ideological foundation for the future writing of the "Records of the Historians" and ensured the authenticity and objectivity of some historical facts.

Sima Qian's travels and investigations not only feasted on the famous mountains and rivers, but also visited some historical and cultural relics, such as Han Xin's hometown, Confucius's former residence Qu Wu Sui Yuan ruins, the former ruins of Emperor Shun, and the place where Han Gaozu made a great career. Sima Qian's first trip was to visit the Jianghuai region and visit the little-known deeds and relics of Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, in his early years.

Sima Qian (145 BC-?) The character is long, the son of Sima Tan, Zuo Feng Xu Xiayang (Xiayang is now Hancheng, Shaanxi, and now Hejin, Shanxi), a historian, writer, and thinker in the Western Han Dynasty, and was called "Taishi Gong" by later generations. His family is very knowledgeable, and at the age of thirty-eight, he officially became the Taishi Ling.

Later, he was sentenced to corruption because of Li Ling's defense. He endured great physical and mental torture to write the Chronicles of the Chronicles to fulfill his father's last wishes, and completed the book in 91 BC.

Sima Qian was a great writer and historian of the Western Han Dynasty in China, and his father was a very learned historian of the Western Han Dynasty. Si sock sedan imitation Ma Qian came to Chang'an with his father since he was a child, and began to study ancient Chinese at the age of 10, studying very hard.

After the age of 20, he roamed the north and south of the Great River, visited the Great Wall, crossed the Yellow River, climbed Mount Tai, passed the Yangtze River, interviewed folklore, inspected cultural relics and historical sites, and collected historical materials along the way. These activities have greatly enriched his knowledge in all aspects and cultivated his thoughts and feelings of loving the motherland.

After Sima Qian returned from roaming, he became a petty official. Soon after, his father told him that his relatives were critically ill, and before he died, he took Sima Qian's hand and said: "My family has been a historian for generations, and you will take over this position in the future."

I wanted to write a general history for a long time, but I couldn't do it! You must inherit my business, don't forget it! Sima Qian said firmly

I don't have much talent, but I'm sure I'll make your wish come true! ”

Later, Sima Qian became a historian, and he eagerly read the books and archives in the royal library, sorting out and researching historical materials. At that time, the words were engraved on wooden tablets or written on silk, and sometimes a book had to fill a room, and it was not easy to read, and by the age of 41, he began to write the "Historical Records".

Six years later, Sima Qian offended the emperor by speaking out outrightly and was sent to prison. He was severely devastated in prison and had thoughts of suicide, but he also felt: "There is a certain death for man, which is either heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather."

If you die so easily, who will complete the "Chronicles"? He is determined to live and must finish writing the "Historical Records"!

At the age of 50, Sima Qian was released from prison. He worked even harder and poured all his efforts into writing the "Historical Records". It took him 14 years to write this book of more than 500,000 words.

The Records of the Historians is the first general history of our country, with a total history of more than 3,000 years, including chapters exposing the evil deeds of emperors and praising the stories of slave uprisings. This is a great work written by Sima Qian with his life's energy and hard work, which will always shine with brilliance.
