There are two main disputes about Biography of Confucius of Historical Records.Firstly,whether Confucius should be collected in Biography of Confucius of Historical Records or not;another is whether Sima Qian wrote much about Confucius or not.As for the former,many ancient scholars made a mistake,namely,they regarded Biography of Confucius of Historical Records as a regular pattern of record history at Sima Qian's times.In fact,Confucius was fit into Historical Records for his great practice at bringing into order out chaos and his tremendous influence in learning and his sublime history status.And for the latter,many ancient scholars had no integrated understanding about it.Sima Qian intentionally used false history materials in order to disclose Confucius's tragic life which he can not be put in an important position and express his sorrowful mentality to Confucius.
