Ban Gu, author of the Book of Han, was also a great writer. Ban Gu came from a family of Confucian scholars and was able to recite at the age of nine. Ban Gu's father, Ban Biao, continued to write the "History" in his later years, and under the influence of his father, Ban Gu also began to pay attention to Han affairs. Wang Chong once went to the capital Luoyang to study and visit Ban Biao, and he greatly appreciated Ban Gu's talent and ambition, believing that Ban Gu would certainly be able to complete the heavy task of writing the history of the Han Dynasty in the future.
Later, due to the death of his father, Ban Gu moved from the capital Luoyang back to fufeng Anling's hometown to live, which gave Ban Gu enough time and energy to complete the unfinished business of his father's relatives Ban Gu believed that his father had already written the part of the "Afterword to the History", the content was not detailed enough, and the layout needed to be improved; the part that was not written needed to be re-written. Therefore, on the basis of his father's "Later Biography of History", he officially began to write the "Book of Han" by taking advantage of the rich books in his family collection. Just as Ban Gu was going all out to write the Book of Han, someone wrote to the imperial court to report Ban Gu's "private revision of the history of the country", and the Han Ming Emperor ordered Fufeng County to arrest him, Ban Gu was imprisoned in Jingzhao Prison, and the manuscript was also confiscated by the government. Ban Gu's younger brother Ban Chao was worried that Ban Gu was forced by the county bureau and could not confess, so he rode on a fast horse to the capital Luoyang, planning to write to Emperor Ming of Han and seek revenge on behalf of Ban Gu. Ban Chao told Emperor Han Ming all about the decades of hard work of his father and brother in revising history and his intention to promote "Hande", and Fufeng Junshou also sent the copied manuscripts to the Beijing Division. Emperor Ming read the manuscript, marveled at Ban Gu's talent, praised the manuscript he had written as a masterpiece, ordered his immediate release, and summoned him to the Imperial Library of Luoyang In Kyoto, where he was in charge of and proofread the Royal Books.
This is the "private study of the history of the country" incident, and it is also through this event that he was blessed by misfortune, although his position was low, but it enabled Ban Gu to get a more stable life, and more importantly, it gave him the conditions to contact and make use of the rich royal collection, which provided an important condition for him to complete the "Book of Han" in the future.
Ban Gu, in the process of writing the deeds of the Emperor of guangwu, showed outstanding talent and was appreciated by emperor Ming of Han. In view of Ban Gu's ambition to cultivate the history of Han on his own, Emperor Ming of Han also hoped to further publicize "Hande" through Ban Gu, and issued a special edict to let him continue to complete the history books he wrote.
From "privately revising the history of the country" to "cultivating the history of the commanded", a magnificent turn was completed. A stable life, available royal books, and the emperor's will enabled Ban Gu to devote himself wholeheartedly to the cause of writing history, and the progress of history writing was greatly accelerated.
In the seventh year of the founding of Emperor Zhang of Han, Ban Gu initially completed the writing of the Book of Han, which lasted a total of twenty-five years, realizing the wishes of the father and son generations. The whole narrative begins with Han Gaozu, until the killing of King Mang of Xiaoping, the twelve generations of emperors, and the deeds of the two hundred and thirty years, including the "Spring and Autumn" examination of the chronicles, tables, zhi, and biographies. After the "Book of Han" was promulgated, it was valued by the current dynasty, and scholars rushed to recite it.
This is the process that the Book of Han has gone through, and it is also the great wealth that Ban Gu has left for future generations with his life.
