How did Sima Qian write characters under the principle of historical truth? Let's take a look at his sentence in "A Family Leaving Hou": "It is easy to say that there are many things in the world, so it is not the world, so it is not. "This shows that the author doesn't have to record everything, but has a choice. On weekdays, Sean and Gaozu talked a lot about what's going on in the world, but only wrote those events that have a great relationship with the survival of the world, which shows his personality characteristics. Writing other characters is no exception, that is, only writing important things that can express the characteristics of characters. There are also such words in "Stay at Houjia": "Language is in Xiang Yu" and "Language is in Huaiyin"; Other articles often have such words. This is the "mutual understanding method" pointed out by predecessors. Sima Qian's application of this method is very complicated, some have noticed it, and some have not. It not only passively avoids the repetition of narrative, but also actively uses information to serve the characteristics of prominent characters. For example, Biography of Xiang Yu focuses on many important events and highlights his arrogant and furious personality. Although the author belittles his behavior in his praise, warm praise and deep sympathy are the main things. This reflects the integrity of Xiang Yu, a historical figure. In this chronicle, the author did not criticize Xiang Yu's personal shortcomings and military and political mistakes too much, but put it in the biography of Hou Huaiyin revealed by Han Xin, which neither damaged Xiang Yu's heroic image, but also showed Han Xin's extraordinary talent and insight. In this way, through the selection, tailoring and concentration of historical materials, Sima Qian not only made many biographies correctly reflect their activities and functions in history, but also highlighted their thoughts and personalities and expressed the author's love and hate.
