Evaluation: Yang Xiong wrote in the book "Fa Yan": "A great teacher moved, saying it was a record". "My son loves more and loves strange things." Yang Xiong was the first person to praise the spirit of Sima Qian's record. He put forward records and love, which have been recognized by experienced people until now. Ban Gu was the first person who systematically evaluated Sima Qian in Han Dynasty. There is Biography of Sima Qian in Hanshu. Ban Gu said in his eulogy: "Since Liu Xiang, Yang and other well-known books, they have all inspired historical masterpieces, convinced their feelings with order, argued without pomp, argued without vulgarity, wrote straightforwardly, focused on things, and beautiful without concealing evil, so they are called records." It can be said that Sima Qian's "not empty beauty, not hiding evil" can be said to be right. The world calls it, and later generations are impressed. Sima Qian's spirit of "recording" has become a fine tradition of China's historiography. Han Yu spoke highly of Sima Qian's literary talent. He said: "People in the Han Dynasty were all literate, and Tai Shigong, Liu Xiang and Yang were the best." He thinks that the style of Sima Qian's works is "majestic and elegant". Historical Records became a sample of Han Yu's composition. Liu Zongyuan thinks that the articles in Historical Records are concise and clear, concise and neat, and there is no disease of branches and vines; Naturally, it is watertight, and it is not allowed to add a word; Choosing words and making sentences is painstaking, and you can't subtract a word. Song people highly praised Sima Qian, and famous figures include Ma Cunzan's "Strong Patrol" and "Five-body Structure of Zheng Qiao". Liang Qichao believed that "Sima Qian was the ancestor of history" and "Taishi Gongcheng was the creator of history". Lu Xun introduced Sima Qian in the Outline of China Literature History. Lu Xun said: "Liang Wudi is a scholar, endowed with Mo Ruo Sima Xiangru and Wen Ruo Sima Qian." Sima Qian wrote an article "not limited to historical methods, not limited to words, but from feelings, from the heart", so Historical Records can be regarded as "the historian's swan song, without rhyme." Lu Xun's evaluation has become an immortal famous saying in the commentary of Historical Records.
