The literati in China displayed the elegance and spirit of many literati with delicate brushwork. Among them, Sima Qian, as an outstanding representative of ancient China literati, left a deep impression on me.
Sima Qian, with a long word, was a famous historian, writer and thinker in the Western Han Dynasty, and was respected as Shi Qian and Tai Shigong by later generations. His Historical Records is China's first biographical general history, and it is praised as a historian's swan song by Lu Xun.
In the book, Sima Qian created Historical Records with his historical knowledge of studying heaven and man, ancient and modern changes and forming a unified view. This history book is not only of high literary value, but also a precious document to witness the historical changes in China. It recorded the history from the legend of the Yellow Emperor in ancient times to the first year of founding ceremony, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which lasted for more than 3,000 years. By reading historical records, I seem to have traveled through time and space and experienced the joys and sorrows of those historical events and characters.
Sima Qian's talent and perseverance are admirable. He suffered castration and humiliation. In order to complete the masterpiece Historical Records, he visited the whole country and collected information, and went through all the hardships. His persistence and persistence left us this precious legacy.
After reading the chapter about Sima Qian in Pin China Literati, I deeply felt the character and spirit of China Literati. With their talent and courage, they recorded the vicissitudes and changes of history. It is the efforts and dedication of these literati that enable us to understand the past through words, so as to better face the future.
The chapter about Sima Qian in Pin China Literati made me deeply realize the tenacity and persistence of China literati. His story inspires us to go forward bravely in the face of difficulties and write our own historical chapters with our talents and efforts.
