Sima Qian (145 BC - after 87 BC), the character Chang Li Shiqi Introduction, China's Western Han Dynasty great historian, thinker, writer, Xia Yang (Longmen) (now Hancheng, Shaanxi) people. He is the author of "Historical Records", also known as "Taishi Gongji", which records the history of more than 3,000 years from the era of the Yellow Emperor in ancient Chinese legends to the first year of Yuanjia (122 BC) of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Sima Qian, 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", made the "Historical Records" the first general history of Chinese history, which had a huge impact on later generations, and was praised by Lu Xun as "the swan song of historians, and the separation of rhyme and wear".
His father, Sima Tan, was Taishi Ling (equivalent to the current position of director of the National Library). In his early years, Sima Qian lived a poor life in his hometown. In the sixth year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, after the death of the Empress Dowager Dou, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed Huang Lao, the name of the pen, and the words of the hundred schools, and re-launched the respect for Confucianism, which is the famous "depose the hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone".
In the second year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Sima Qian moved from Xiayang to Chang'an, and then moved to the capital with his family, learning "Shangshu" from Kong Anguo, and learning "Spring and Autumn" from Dong Zhongshu. Subsequently, he inherited his father's business as Taishi Ling. In 104 B.C., while presiding over the revision of the calendar, Sima Qian officially began to write the "Taishi Gongshu".
In the second year of the Tianhan Dynasty (99 BC), he interceded for Li Ling, who surrendered to the Xiongnu, because of the "Li Ling Incident", because of his outspokenness, he angered Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, thinking that he was defending Li Ling, so he was tortured by the palace. In prison, Sima Qian worked hard to improve himself, endured the pain that extraordinary people could endure, and continued to write the "Historical Records". After Sima Qian was released from prison, he continued to write angrily, and finally completed the "Historical Records" in 91 BC.
In 90 BC, Sima Qian died at the age of 56. As for the cause of Sima Qian's death, because there is no clear record of Li Shiqi's brief introduction in historical materials, it is still an unsolved mystery.
