碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 中國文學研究所 === 100 === Li Jingxing’s Shiji Pingyi is his review and study of Sima Qian’s Shiji. Li analyzed the motifs and structure of every chapter of Shiji, Sima Qian’s comments on historical characters and events, and probed into the controversies over the disappearance of some part of Shiji and additional chapters written by later scholars. He also explored the content and the purpose of “Taishigong Yue.” Furthermore, he attempted to correct some errors in Shiji through the content of other records and books. Li Jingxing was an erudite scholar, as well as an enthusiastic educationist. He worked on the issues regarding Shiji that other scholars were interested in, and also pointed out the strengths of Shiji for scholars to learn and model, namely the way it narrates history and its value judgments. This study explores Li Jingxing’s analysis and review of Shiji, to find out what Li understood of Sima Qian’s purpose and how Li taught others to learn the methods of writing and narration from Shiji. It is hoped that this study will lead to a greater understanding of Shiji and Sima Qian and be able to outline Li Jingxing’s creative viewpoints and misunderstandings of Shiji.
