I. Introduction
Speaking of the "History of History", the first thing that comes to mind must be its author, Sima Qian. After fourteen years of writing, the "Records of History" is stained with Sima Qian's painstaking efforts. And Sima Qian's familiarity with the palace punishment (mistake) he suffered, the "Book of Baoren An" written to a friend and the famous sentence in it: "Man is inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than Hong Mao" His indomitable and hard-working spirit in the face of difficulties has always inspired us. Today, let's read this legendary work in words.
