There are different names such as national policy, state affairs, stories, short stories and long volumes, which were named "Warring States Policy" after finishing by Liu Xiang. However, it is not a systematic history book, but just a miscellaneous compilation of historical materials.

At first, there was no fixed title for historical records, or "Taishi Office" or "Taishi Gong", etc., and it was also called "Taishi Gong" in the province. Historical Records was originally the general name of ancient history books. Since the Three Kingdoms, Historical Records has gradually become the proper name of Taishi Gongshu. Author Sima Qian, word length, Zuo Fengyi from Xiayang. Born in the fifth year of Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty, he died in the third year of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. Sima Qian's father, Sima Tan, was an official in Hanzhong, responsible for managing imperial books, collecting historical materials and studying astronomical calendars. Sima Tan intended to write a general history, but his wish didn't come true and he died. On his deathbed, he told Sima Qian to finish his unfinished business.

Sima Qian worked hard as a child. At the age of ten, he began to learn the ancient prose at that time. Later, he followed Dong Zhongshu and Kong Anguo to study Gongyang Chunqiu and the history of ancient literature. Emperor yuan Shuo of the Han dynasty was three years old, and Sima Qian was twenty years old. With the desire for knowledge, he traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers of the motherland, inspected historical sites and collected stories. Sima Qian broadened his horizons and increased his knowledge by on-the-spot investigation of places of interest and historical facts before and after the founding of the Western Han Dynasty, which made a good preparation for the later compilation of Historical Records.

After Sima Tan's death, Sima Qian inherited his father's footsteps, formulated imperial edicts, and was able to see a large number of books, documents and national archives, which was an indispensable condition for Sima Qian to compile historical books.

In the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Sima Qian began to compile historical records. In the second year of Tianhan, Li Ling led the troops to attack the Huns with Li Guangli, and they were defeated and surrendered. Emperor Wu asked Sima Qian what he thought of Li Ling, so Sima Qian said that Li Ling surrendered because he was outnumbered and had no reinforcements, and the responsibility was not entirely on Li Ling. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty believed that Sima Qian was interested in defending Li Ling, so he condemned Li Guangli, the elder brother of Li Furen, the favorite of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. As a result, Sima Qian was put in prison and sentenced to corruption.

Three years later, he was pardoned and released from prison, and worked harder to write history books. In about two years, the compilation was basically completed. Many years after Sima Qian's death, his grandson Yang Yun made this immortal masterpiece of more than 520,000 words public.

In a word, < < Warring States Policy > > was published before & lt was written.
