Origin and Story of 大谬不然
During the Western Han Dynasty, the renowned historian Sima Qian spoke up for General Li Ling after Li Ling's failed campaign against the Xiongnu and subsequent forced surrender. As a result, Sima Qian was subjected to castration and imprisoned.
Facing this immense humiliation, he had no choice but to write to his friend Ren An, pouring out his misfortunes. He wrote: 'My body is not made of wood or stone, yet I am forced to associate with jailers alone.' It was indeed utterly mistaken that his loyalty was destroyed instead.
