《史记》史笔与文笔交替而用,史笔贵直,文笔贵曲,各有所用。最具隐曲意味的,当算《史记》里的小故事。而就整个《史记》而言,是直是曲,较为复杂。依笔者之见,即使是针砭最高统治者,只要是证据确凿的,司马迁就敢于秉笔直书;有争议的,难于定论又不得不表达自己意见的,便用隐约的笔法加以暗示。前者如《酷吏列传》,后者如韩信一案。 “Historical Records” pen and pen with the history of alternating use, pen and pen straight, writing your song, each have their own use. The most implicit meaning, should be considered a “story” in the story. As far as the whole “Historical Records” is concerned, it is straightforward and more complicated. According to the author’s opinion, even if it is the supreme ruler, as long as there is evidence, Sima Qian dared to uphold the straight book; controversial, difficult to determine and have to express their own opinions, it is implied by the vague lines. The former, such as “cool official column,” the latter case, such as Han Xin case.
