Records of the Grand Historian
The Records of the Grand Historian written from
109 BC to
91 BC, was the magnum opus of
Sima Qian, in which he recounted
Chinese history from the time of the
Yellow Emperor until his own time. (The Yellow Emperor, traditionally dated ca. 2600 BC, is the first ruler whom the Sima Qian considers sufficiently established as historical to appear in his history.) As the first systematic Chinese historical text, it tremendously influenced Chinese historiography and prose, and is comparable to
Herodotus and his Historiai.

Shōji
"Shoji" redirects here. For other uses see
Shoji (disambiguation). In traditional
Japanese architecture, a shōji (障子) is a room divider or
door consisting of translucent
washi paper over a wooden frame. Shoji doors are often designed to slide open, or fold in half, to conserve space that would be required by a swinging door. They are used in traditional houses as well as western-style housing, especially in the
washitsu, and are now regarded in Japan as a necessity in looking Japanese.
