Features: The entire 130-volume Records of the Grand Historian includes the [Annals] that record the deeds of emperors; the [Chronological Tables] that organize events by year; the [Books] that document texts; the [Hereditary Houses] that narrate the genealogies of feudal lords; and the [Biographies] that classify and record the deeds of various social strata. Sima Qian wrote the Records of the Grand Historian with a serious ideological background—partly following his father's (instruction/command), and partly emulating Confucius's great endeavor to [continue the lost learning] of the Spring and Autumn Annals. However, in the [Biographies], he vividly portrayed a strong tragic character.
