Epic Echoes: The Starry Land of Sima Qian Scenic Area

#September2025 The Sima Qian Scenic Area stands on the banks of the Wei River, its towering memorial hall against a backdrop of blue sky and white clouds. Ascending the steps, one discovers a forest of stone tablets inscribed with famous verses from the "Records of the Grand Historian," each word resonating with the heart. From a vantage point, the Wei River meanders eastward, seemingly carrying the unbroken river of millennia of history. The museum displays replicas of Sima Qian's life and his manuscripts, recounting those difficult yet glorious years. As the afternoon breeze caresses one's face, one recalls his fortitude in enduring humiliation and completing the "Records of the Grand Historian," inspiring admiration. The Sima Qian Scenic Area serves not only as a memorial but also as an inspiration, reminding us to preserve truth through words and to defy time with courage.
