Features: 【Book Introduction】 Records of the Grand Historian is hailed as "the peerless chronicle of historians, an unrhymed Li Sao," and has been passed down for over two thousand years. The Chinese nation has long had a tradition of compiling and writing books. From the legendary ancient texts San Fen, Wu Dian, Ba Suo, and Jiu Qiu, to the current "visual era," this tradition has been proven time and again. However, when looking at the domestic book market, it is a pity that no complete illustrated edition of Records of the Grand Historian can be found. This illustrated of Records of the Grand Historian aims to fill this gap and verify history through images. The book supplements text with images, adhering to the principle of "better to be without than with less than perfect." In selecting images, efforts are made to ensure they are directly related to the historical facts being described, thereby authenticating the original state of history, or indirectly illustrating the facts to reflect the historical context. The images primarily include ancient ruins, tombs, related ancient artifacts, and Han Dynasty relief sculptures, all chosen to reflect and witness history through historically valuable visuals, allowing readers to gain a direct understanding of the historical facts of the pre-Qin and Qin-Han periods. 【Table of Contents】
