Sima Qian and the Way of the Sword in Ancient China
View through CrossRef
AbstractThe Records of the Grand Historian (Shiji)contains Sima Qian’s views on the Way of the Sword (jiandao), the four martial virtues [faith (xin), integrity (lian), benevolence (ren) and courage (yong)], as well as sword’s practical and moral functions. These are inseparable from the profound swordsmanship tradition of the Sima clan and the veneration of warrior culture in the kingdom of Zhao. The Records of the Grand Historian further presents the community of swordsmen in Warring States China, including such colorful personalities as Nie Zhengand Jing Ke in the Biographies of Assassins, whose contrasting stories Sima Qian uses both to convey their diverse character, and to illustrate jian’s moral ideal.
