With Part I of the two-part fifth volume of Ssu-ma Ch'ien's Shi chi
(The Grand Scribe's Records), we enter the world of the shih chia
or "hereditary houses." These ten chapters trace the history of
China's first states, from their establishment in the 11th century
B.C. until their incorporation in the first empire under the Ch'in
in 221 B.C. Combining myth, anecdote, chronicle, and biography
based on early written and oral sources, many no longer extant, the
narratives make for compelling reading, as dramatic and readable as
any in this grand history.
