This second volume of the ongoing annotated translation of Ssu-ma
Ch'ien's Shih chi (The Grand Scribe's Records), widely acknowledged
as the most important early Chinese history, contains the "basic
annals" of five early Han-dynasty emperors. The annals trace the
first century of Han rule (206 b.c. to ca. 100 b.c.) in a
year-by-year account that focuses on imperial activities. In these
later annals, Ssu-ma Ch'ien revitalized the style he had employed
in accounts of previous rulers in the opening chapters of The Grand
Scribe's Records. When this translation is completed, it will make
available in English all 130 chapters of the Shih chi. Volumes 1
and 7 were published by Indiana University Press in 1994.
