Did Sima Qian record his own experience in the Historical Records ?

Although there is a lot of content in the Book of Reporting to Ren An, it does not belong to one of the chapters of the "Historical Records", it is just a letter to his friend Ren An.

No. It is recorded in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

No. The Han Dynasty didn't know that he was a Taishi Ling!

No. We know this through other accounts.

I guess it's been around for 5,000 years.

1. Jeanne's persistent exploration defeated smallpox.

In the 18th century, smallpox spread like a terrible plague in Europe and Asia. In the UK, almost everyone will be infected with the disease sooner or later, many adults have unsightly scars on their faces and bodies from smallpox, thousands of people have become blind or crazy due to the severity of the disease, and countless more die every year. The discoverer of immunization, Jeanne of England, was a young engineer at the time, and he was determined to fight smallpox.

After observational experiments, he found that smallpox could be prevented by manually inoculating animals with cowpox. So, what are the results of testing on people? At the risk of his son's death, and endured all kinds of reproaches from relatives and friends, Zena planted pox pulp on his son's arm, and two months later planted pus from smallpox patients on his son, but his son did not contract smallpox and his experiment was successful.

2. Sima Qian's field investigation of historical facts.

When Sima Qian, the author of "Historical Records", wrote the history of the soul country in the Warring States Period. I heard that in order to destroy the Wei State, the Qin State once led the Yellow River to flood the Wei capital Liang Wa. In order to find out this historical fact, he personally went to the Daliang city wall, climbed high and low, looked for the traces of the year, and asked the local old people to investigate patiently, and finally mastered a large amount of information, confirming that the Qin State did indeed lead the Yellow River to flood the Daliang City, and then wrote this historical fact into the "Historical Records".

Historian of the Western Han Dynasty and a literary scholar. The character is long, and he is a native of Xiayang, Zuo Fengyi (now southwest of Hancheng, Shaanxi). Born in the fifth year of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty (145 BC), one said that he was born in the sixth year of the founding of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (135 BC), and the year of his death cannot be examined.

Sima Qian began to study ancient texts at the age of 10. About in the Han Wu Emperor Yuanguang and Yuan Shuo years, from the modern writer Dong Zhongshu to learn "Ram Spring and Autumn", and from the ancient writer Kong Anguo to learn "Ancient Wenshangshu".At the age of 20, he roamed south from Chang'an, the capital of Beijing, and traveled all over the Jianghuai River Basin and the Central Plains, inspecting customs and collecting legends wherever he went.

Soon Shi was Langzhong, became the guard and servant of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and traveled to the west many times, and once sent an envoy to Bashu. In the third year of Yuan Feng (108 BC), Sima Qian succeeded his father Sima Tan and served as Taishi Ling, in charge of the astronomical calendar and royal books, so he had to read the books collected by the historians. In the first year of Taichu (104 BC), the "Taichu Calendar" was compiled with Tang Du and Luoxiahong to replace the "Zhuan Calendar" inherited by Qin, and the new calendar adapted to the needs of the society at that time.

After that, Sima Qian began to write the "Historical Records".Later, for defending Li Ling, who surrendered to the Xiongnu, he was convicted and imprisoned and was tortured by corruption.

After being released from prison, he served as the secretary of the Zhongshu order, continued to write books with anger, and finally completed the writing of the "Historical Records". People call his book "Taishi Gongshu".It is the first general history of China in the form of a chronicle, which has a far-reaching influence on the historiography of later generations.

Sima Qian also wrote the "Book of Reporting to Ren'an", which recorded his imprisonment and ambition to write a book, which has been praised by all generations.

First, family influence and one's own ambitions. Sima Qian was born in a family of historians, and when he was a teenager, he traveled all over the world, so he had great ambitions and was interested in writing a history book that studied the forest of heaven and man, and became a family of words. This is its ideal.

Second, where the responsibilities lie. When Sima Qian was 35 years old, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent him as envoys to Yunnan, Sichuan, Guiqi Tuanzhou and other places. He learned about the customs of some of the ethnic minorities there.

After the death of his father Sima Tan, in 108 BC (the third year of Yuan Feng), Sima Qian succeeded him as Taishi Ling. It can be said that it is also his duty to record historical facts.

Third, Sima Qian also has the ambition to fulfill his father's last wish. Sima Qian's father, Sima Tan, also had ambitions to write a history book, but failed to do so. Before he died, he instructed his son Sima Qian to will

Today, the son is connected to the Chitose system. , Feng Taishan, and the rest can not follow, it is fate! After the rest of the death, you will be the history of the Taishi, and you will not forget what I want to write about ......Sima Qian waited back

The kid is not sensitive, please talk about the old news of the ancestors. Sima Qian inherited his father's will to complete the historical work.

The "Historical Records" has 130 chapters and more than 520,000 words, including 12 books, 10 tables, 8 books, 30 families and 70 biographies, which has a huge impact on later generations, and is known as "the actual record, the history of letters", and is praised by Mr. Lu Xun as "the swan song of the historian, the rhyme of the separation", listed as the first of the "four histories", and the "Zizhi Tongjian" and called the "double bib" of historiography. Therefore, Sima Qian was called Shi Qian and Shi Sheng by later generations.
