All Living Beings: Biographies from "historical Records
About This Novel
At the beginning of the biography, why should we focus on the hermit? Why did the Taoist Lao Tzu, the Legalist Han Fei, and Sima Qian marry each other? Why did Liu Bang's nephew become a traitor to the Han Dynasty? Why did the fierce general Li Guang not become a marquis even when he was old? Is it difficult to be an official who abides by the rules and has a bottom line? ..."All Living Beings" is the third volume of "Chen Zhenghong's "Historical Records" series". According to the order of the seventy biographies in the current "Historical Records", it is divided into three volumes: "Hermits, sages and assassins in the Pre-Qin Dynasty", "Heroes, celebrities and traitors in the Qin and Han Dynasties" and "Under the Starry Sky, Seeing All Living Beings from Several Angle", which provides a detailed account of the events from the Pre-Qin Dynasty to the early Western Han Dynasty. The observation and analysis of this historical drama by various people full of historical wisdom not only more truly reflects the intention of "Historical Records" to "connect the past and the present", but also reflects the author's understanding and speculation on the shift in focus of Sima Qian's document compilation and historical compilation before and after the Li Ling incident.

Analyze every detail and explore the details...
