Who was the first female historian in China?

China's first female historian Ban Zhao pins reading Chinese female talents (2) During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a woman who made important contributions to historiography. This woman is Ban Zhao, the first female historian in my country.

Ban Zhao, a native of the northeast of Xianyang, Shaanxi, was born in the Eastern Han Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, a noble family with a "family collection of books and sufficient wealth", she married Cao Shishu as his wife at the age of fourteen, and was widowed in her early years, and lived for more than 70 years. His father, Ban Biao, was very learned; The eldest brother, Ban Gu, is a famous historian and writer; The second brother Ban Chao is a generation of famous generals who have made meritorious contributions to Hengsui in the Western Regions. Under the guidance and influence of his father and brother, Ban Zhao became a knowledgeable scholar and laid a solid foundation for writing the Book of Han in the future.

Her outstanding contribution to the cultural cause of the motherland is to collate and continue the important historiographical masterpiece "Book of Han".

In the early years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Sima Qian wrote a monumental work "Historical Records of Tongbian". After Sima Qian's death, although some people wrote it, Ban Biao thought that "it was too vulgar to follow his book". He collected historical materials and wrote more than 60 articles of "Later Biography", which was intended to fill in the missing parts after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but died of illness before it was completed.

Ban Gu inherited his father's will, and on the basis of the "Later Biography of the Historical Records", he began to compile the "Book of Han", a historical book that included the history of the Western Han Dynasty. After more than 20 years of hard work, Ban Gu completed the main part of the Hanshu Wheel Bu. Unexpectedly, in 92 AD, Ban Gu was implicated in political disputes within the ruling class and died in prison.

In this way, the "Book of Han", which Ban and his son spent decades compiling, still had eight tables and the "Astronomical Chronicles" unfinished, and the entire manuscript was in danger of being scattered. Fortunately, Emperor Han He knew that Ban Zhao was a well-versed and knowledgeable female genius, so he summoned her and Ma Xu to the royal Dongguan Library to continue to study the Book of Han. Ban Zhao happily accepted the task for his stepfather's and brother's will.

Since then, she has tirelessly read a large number of historical books in the library for many years, sorted out and checked the scattered chapters left by her father and brother, and supplemented the eight tables and the "Astronomical Chronicles" on the basis of the original manuscript. At this point, this complete "Book of Han", after 40 years of compilation, has finally been completed. Although it has been written by the hands of four people, it reads "comparable to the last, like a hand", which is very harmonious.
