- Summary:
- "This volume presents and analyzes Liang Yusheng's scholarship on Sima Qian's Shiji (Records of the Grand Historian), focusing on Liang's criticisms of the Shiji passages that relate to the state of Qin. Woven into the book is a revised version of Qin history, a 'thick retelling' of Sima Qian's long narrative on the state's beginnings, ruling lineage, military conflicts and territorial expansion, its political and social reforms, and its eventual conquest of all adversaries and the establishment of China's first empire in 221 BCE"-- Provided by publisher.
