A Study On The Historical Memory And Writing Of Qin In The Early Stage Of Han

As the continuation of Qin dynasty,the Western Han even though had inherited its political system,but also not accept it in mind completely: the scholars of Han usually criticize Qin's violence.As historian,Sima Qian' s Shiji recorded Qin's history directly,even criticized the ridiculous attitude towards Qin of Han's scholars.The inherited historical documents had recorded Qin in various sides,they could not escape the inertial writing of the emperor and treat the history as mirror.The recently unearthed document "Peking University Western Han Bamboo book",one of which is "Zhao Zhengshu",recorded the history of the emperor's death to the throne of the second century.The figures in it were very different from the inherited documents of the Western Han."All historical materials can be historical studies." Based on this new view,we can treat the historical documents as written memory.Whether it is "Shiji" as "faithful history",scholars with political purposes,or "Zhao Zhengshu",which was regarded as "Xiao Shuojia",can be included in the discussion.When entering the text,these documents helps us to reproduce the special memory of the Qin Dynasty's history,and show the diverse attitudes of Han's narrating and writing the history of Qin more directly and their special writing purposes under their own positions to restore a diverse historical world,so we can conclude and some reflections can be made on the appearance and existence of historical memory.
