In The Grand Scribe's Records: Volume X, readers can follow Ssu-ma
Qian's depiction of the later years of the reign of Emperor Wu of
the Han (r. 140-87 BC). The volume begins with four chapters
describing the Han's attempts to subdue states north, east, south
and west of the empire. The subsequent long biography of Ssu-ma
Hsiang-ju (179-117) presents one of the era's major literary
figures who came to oppose the Emperor's expensive military
campaigns against these states. It is followed by an equally
extended portrayal of Liu An (d. 122), King of Huai-nan, who was
seen as an internal threat and forced to commit suicide. The final
chapters recount narratives of the ideal officials (all predating
the Han) and the Confucians the Emperor championed.
