『사기』 대중화의 현황과 전망 『사기』 관련 출판물을 중심으로

Abstract

Only when humanities constantly communicate with modern readers and undergo new changes in accordance with reality can they maintain their vitality. There fore, the popularization of humanities is not just a temporary movement, but should be constantly explored to set the right direction. From this perspective, the author tries to review how the popularization of "ShiJi" is carried out, taking the publications from 2010 to 2021 as the research object, content and characteristics. Over the past 12 years, 177 publications have been published, including 75 original translations (43 percent), 55 (31 percent) for ordinary adults, 36 (20 percent) for children, and 11 (6 percent) for teenagers.From the point of view of popularization, these publications have a strong academic nature centered on the translation of the original. The emphasis on conveying the meaning of the original “ShiJi” is somewhat inadequate, taking into account both the variations and applications of reality.To solve this problem, publications need to improve the readability of Historical Records, differentiate the readership and consider its specific application.Considering the changes in reality and the preferences of the MZ generation, it is necessary to change the way of reading a single paper edition of “ShiJi”.
