想象你是长安灞陵的守门人,那一天你看到了一个弯弓的布衣老人…… - 灞陵尉依法办事,李广杀他——史书里没有任何人认为这有问题。我们今天的不适感,是一种“以今度古”的错误,还是一种被长期压抑的正当直觉? - 司马迁对李广的态度是什么?他在呈现一个复杂的人、在无意识地双标、还是在用沉默做批判? - 后世至今,不同的人对于李广、司马迁、灞陵尉有何视角投射? - 《史记》之外的汉匈战争有没有“真实的另一面”?如果匈奴赢了,历史书会怎么写汉武帝?

Imagine you are the gatekeeper at Baling outside Chang'an, and on that day you see an old man in commoner's clothes with a bow... - The officer of Baling was doing his duty according to the law, and Li Guang killed him, yet no one in the historical records thought this was a problem. Is our discomfort today the error of judging the past by the present, or a legitimate intuition long suppressed? - What was Sima Qian's attitude towards Li Guang? Was he presenting a complex man, applying an unconscious double standard, or criticising through silence? - From later ages to the present, what have different people projected onto Li Guang, Sima Qian and the officer of Baling? - Is there a "real other side" to the Han–Xiongnu wars beyond the Records of the Grand Historian? If the Xiongnu had won, how would the history books have written about Emperor Wu of Han?
