Description

Si Ma Qian (139 BC - 86 BC) was a Chinese historian and essayist of the Western Han Dynasty (西汉). He is widely regarded as the father of Chinese historiography for his acclaimed treatise Records of the Grand Historian《史记》. Si Ma Qian was the son of Si Ma Tan (司马谈), the grand historian (太史公) in the Han imperial court. In his early years, Si Ma Qian travelled across China to learn about the ancient customs and traditions. He was a bright student and could read the ancient scriptures by the age of 10. Later, he inherited his father's occupation (太史公) and wrote the history. In the later years, Si Ma Qian was sentenced for his defense of Li Ling's defeat against the northern barbarian tribe, the Xiongnu (匈奴). Si Ma Qian was castrated and imprisoned. After serving the sentence, he served as a clerk in the imperial court. Subsequently, he worked diligently to continue to complete the Records of the Grand Historian, the first historical biography of the Chronicles in China. The treatise, made of 130 Chapters, describes the historical events starting from the ancient legend of the Yellow Emperor period until his present time in the Han Dynasty. No wonder, Si Ma Qian is also known as the father of history.
