Miyazaki Ichisada (1901-1995) was a distinguished Japanese historian and a leading scholar of the Kyoto School. He was particularly renowned for developing Naitō Konan's thesis on the periodization of Chinese history, positing the beginning of modernity in the transition for late Tang dynasty through Northern Song. His contributions to sinology were highly recognized with the Japan Academy Prize (1958), the ""Prix Stanislas Julien"" (1978), and the medal of ""Persons of Cultural Merit"" in Japan (1989). His representative works include Tōyōteki kinsei (East Asian modernity, 1950), Kakyo: Chūgoku no shiken jigoku (The civil examination system: China's examination hell, 1976), and Kyūhin kanjinhō no kenkyū (Studies of the regulations of the Nine Ranks bureaucratic system, 1977). Joshua A. Fogel was Canada Research Chair and Professor of modern Chinese history at York University. Trained initially in Chinese history, he developed an abiding interest in Japanese history and has published many important works on Japanese historiography and Sino-Japanese relations. His first major study was Politics and Sinology: The Case of Naitō Konan (1866-1934) (Harvard, 1984). His recently translated work, How the ""Red Star"" Rose: Edgar Snow and Early Images of Mao Zedong, was published by The Chinese University of Hong Kong Press in 2022.
A monument of Japanese scholarship on the Shi ji, Prof. Miyazaki Ichisada's work is the result of decades of meticulous research and original analysis by one of the giants of modern Japanese Sinology. Presented for the first time to readers of English through Prof. Joshua A. Fogel's fine and learned translation, the essays collected in this book not only provide compelling testimony to the groundbreaking quality of modern Japanese scholarship on the Shi ji but also offer a magisterial contribution to the growing body of new studies in English on Sima Qian's work as both history and literature.--Martin Kern, Professor of Chinese Literature, Department of East Asian Studies, Princeton University
