In many of his narratives in the Records of the Grand Historian，Sima Qian highlights the discourse of public opinion and the creation and direction of public opinion by characters.The discourse of folk opinion is manifested in various folklore and legends and the influence of folk leaders on public opinion；the creation of public opinion includes the packaging of public opinion by historical figures and their acting as political leaders to influence the course of history through the guidance of public opinion.The consciousness of public opinion contained in the book not only completes the historical narrative in terms of expressing the social styles， storylines， and characters，but also highlights the power of the people in the vast historical process.This is another concrete expression of Sima Qian''s progressive humanist view of history，which also fully demonstrates his search for the laws of human historical development.Studying the historical truth and political supervision of the book from the perspective of public opinion，we can fully understand his spirit of "good history".
