贾谊 / Jia Yi
贾谊 / Jia Yi enters this wiki branch through 《资治通鉴·秦纪》109-2｜春申君被皇帝大舅哥全族灭门 as the early Western Han writer whose 《过秦论》 praises the 战国四公子. The episode contrasts his positive language with 扬雄 and 司马光’s later suspicion of powerful aristocratic patrons.
The source explains the difference through 史评当代性. Jia Yi writes from an early Han problem-space shaped by Qin’s sudden collapse, so figures who gathered worthy people and opposed Qin can become useful foils for explaining why Qin failed. The page keeps this as the episode’s framing rather than a full account of Jia Yi’s thought.
