摘要：《史记》的作者司马迁生于建元六年（前135），其记事下限应为汉武帝太初四年（前101）。《史记》成书后不久即有十篇亡佚，而后好事者多有续补。《史记》采取了“纪传书表”体这一综合性的述史体例，其取材范围相当广泛，史料价值极高。司马迁关于苏秦、张仪事迹的记载真实可信。《史记》版本众多，流传情况复杂。中华书局修订本参考了景祐本、绍兴本、黄善夫本等多种珍贵版本，广泛运用本校、他校等方法，全面覆覈了三家注引文，撰写校勘记约3500条，改动标点6000余处。

Some Important Issues and Revision Status of New Edition of Records of the Grand Historian        Zhao Shengqun

  Sima Qian, the author of Records of the Grand Historian, was born in 135 B.C., and the final date of his records should be 101 B.C.. Not long after the work was completed, ten chapters of it were lost, and afterwards, busybodies made many supplements. Records of the Grand Historian adopted the comprehensive style combining annals, biographies, treatises, and tables for historical narratives. It covered diverse material areas, and was highly valued for its historical materials. The deeds of Su Qin and Zhang Yi recorded by Sima are credible. Records of the Grand Historian has numerous editions, and the spread status of it was quite complicated. The revised edition published by Zhonghua Book Company refers to various precious texts such as the Jingyou edition, the Shaoxing edition, as well as the Huang Shanfu’s edition, and widely uses multiple methods of proofreading. This edition makes an overall review of annotations of the Three Experts, about 3500 pieces of collating notes, and more than 6000 corrections of punctuation.
