Weiguo Cao’s translation work featured in WSU Insider
Weiguo Cao‘s work translating The Grand Scribe’s Records has been featured on WSU Insider. As the article explains:
“The Grand Scribe’s Records, or Shiji, is a sprawling, 130-chapter epic compiled more than 2,000 years ago by Sima Qian, a court historian under the Han Dynasty. It chronicles two millennia of Chinese history including the rise and fall of dynasties, the formation of philosophical schools such as Confucianism and Daoism, and the consolidation of imperial China under figures like Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor. The goal of the translation is to render the entire work, written in a form of Classical Chinese that is largely unintelligible to modern readers, into English with comprehensive scholarly annotation.”
