공감에서 비난으로–佞幸에 대한 사마천과 반고의 立傳 취지

초록

Ningxingzhuan, a record of flatterer who favored by the emperor, was a regular subject in authentic history. Many writers defined them as evil people, exposed and criticized them for their misdeeds. Sima Qian's position, which was the first to record his life, is more of a sympathy for their situation than a criticism of him. On the other hand, Ban Gu explicitly criticizes the perpetrators and emphasizes their misdeeds. Sima Qian thought their unfortunate ending was due to the external situation of force majeure. But Bangu considered it as a self-inflicted evil act. The reason for the difference is that their aim were different.
