Records of the Grand Historian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (418 words) |
 | The Records of the Grand Historian or the Records of the Grand Historian of China (Chinese: 史記, Pronunciation: Shǐjì |
 | ; literally "Historical Records"), written from 109 BC to 91 BC, was the magnum opus of Sima Qian, in which he recounted Chinese history from the time of the mythical Yellow Emperor until his own time. |
 | For instance, the material on Jīng Kē's attempt at assassinating Qin Shi Huang was an eye-witness story passed on by the great-grandfather of his father's friend, who served as a low-ranked bureaucrat at Qin court and happened to be attending the diplomatic ceremony for Jīng Kē. |

 | For jump records under speed control the TC believes the new records should be established from 1998 as previously decided - not now as had been suggested. |
 | Given that new records would be established with speed control, it was felt this was an ideal time to also use the actual distance of the jump as recorded by the video cameras with no 2.1 metre add on. |
 | Next, as to the added jump skier reference buoy mentioned previously, I've chatted with a couple of the 210m buoy proponents, and they all agree that the same 30m interval which is used between the existing 150m and 180m buoys would be reasonable to extend the reference area backwards. |
