Unit 8 “Nieh Cheng” (Required)

How does the story “Nieh Cheng” illustrate Ssu-ma Ch’ien’s belief in the importance of including descriptions of ordinary people in his biographies?

  1. As a assassin they are know ass worthy loyal men. Even though they are capable of doing their duty and others don't. They still tried. In Nieh Chang he was a odinary person that was a decent butcher. That took care of his mother and sister. Didn't accept money from others even though they were poor he managed to take care of his family fine.
