Bian Xiao had a lot of experience in thinking before. The following small series will tell you and share your experience:
Sima Qian adhered to the historian's heart, dared to challenge Long Yan, and wrote the past facts with the pen of justice. Although tortured, he is still proud and persistent. He does not stick to a style of writing, and walks in the long river of history day and night, examining the traces of the past and discovering the true knowledge of history. When cold comes and summer goes, dripping wears away the stone, and Mao loves Mao, it will eventually become a masterpiece.
Sima Qian was born in Longmen on the bank of the Yellow River. Since he was a child, he has watched the Yellow River roaring past the Longmen and listened to parents and villagers telling ancient heroic stories. He was very excited. His father, Sima Tan, is an official who specializes in the history of the Han Dynasty. He is determined to write a history book, recording the 2600-year history from the Yellow Emperor to the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Influenced by his father, Sima Qian studied hard and greatly enriched his historical knowledge. He also traveled around, made friends and accumulated a lot of historical materials. On his deathbed, Sima took his son's hand in tears and said, After my death, the imperial court will let you take my office. Don't forget the history book I want to finish reading! ? Sima Qian kept in mind his father's entrustment and was busy reading historical documents every day, sorting out the historical materials left by his father and the materials collected during his early travels around the world.
Just as he was absorbed in writing history books, a sudden disaster appeared in his mind. It turned out that Sima Qian offended Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and was punished for defending a general in prison. Sima Qian was both sad and angry. He tried to spill blood on the wall several times and died. But the unfinished thought in Historical Records dispelled this idea. He thought:? People always die, some are heavier than Mount Tai and some are lighter than a feather. If I die like this, wouldn't it be as light as a feather? I have to live! I must finish reading this history book! ? Thinking of this, he tried to restrain himself, buried his shame and pain in his heart, spread out a smooth bamboo slip and wrote a neat line of official characters on it. In this way, Sima Qian spent 18 years writing angrily At the age of 60, he finally finished a brilliant work of 520,000 words? Historical records. This unprecedented work almost exhausted his life, and he wrote it with his life.
