古往今来,喜读太史公《史记》的人数不胜数。从专治文史的学者到其他行业的读者,不论是老年还是青年,只要展卷披览,就会爱不释手。个中原因固然很多,但司马迁撰文善于剪裁史料,尤其善于从“天下遗文古事靡不毕集”(《太史公自序》)的史料中,“择其言尤雅者”(《五帝本纪》),支撑文章的立意和布局,亦即在充分占有史料的基础上优选典型史料,突出纪传人物固有的特点和亮点,当是一个重要原因。 Throughout the ages, people who read Taishi Gong's “Historical Records” are numerous. From scholar who specializes in literature and history to readers from other professions, no matter if they are old age or young people, they can put it down as long as the exhibition rolls out. Although there are many reasons for this, Sima Qian's writings are good at tailoring historical materials and are especially good at using historical materials such as “The World Heritage of Ancient Times” (“Preface to Taishishi Gong”), “ ”The Five Emperors of the Five Emperors"). It is an important reason to support the intention and layout of the essay, that is, to select typical historical materials on the basis of full historical data and to highlight the inherent characteristics and bright spots of them.
