Abstract:SIMA qian showed a magnificent boldness of “thoroughly understanding the changes from ancient times to modern times” in Shih Chi, especially when writing the Chinese national history. He comprehensively presented the authentic history of unified multi-nations from Yellow Emperor to Emperor Wu of Han, and built the Community of the Chinese Nation in the blood lineage, geographical relationship, nationality ideas and Confucian Orthodoxy. Shih Chi characterized Yellow Emperor as the common ancestor of the whole Chinese nations and cleared the descent between Five Emperors with the other nations, these made Chinese as a consanguinity community. Then, SIMA qian gave a clear idea of the world and took “Jiu Zhou” as the core of the China, which built the geographical community. Meanwhile, he weakened the difference between the Chinese and barbarians, advocated common development and prosperity for all nations in China. Finally, Shih Chi constructed the spirit community with the attitude of Confucian Orthodoxy and showed SIMA qian’s worship to Spring and Autumn in historical writing, which gave the common faith of morality and all-nations unified in Chinese national history. The contributions of the Shih Chi were great in national history, and the integral construction of the Chinese nation community was the consequence of SIMA qian’s historic ideas. Shih Chi has established the foundation and value orientation of the Chinese nation community, which has profound influence and epochal value.
