Genre and evolution
This genre first appeared in the Wei and Jin dynasties. The Wei, Jin and Southern and Northern periods were a turbulent time in Chinese history, and also a period of cultural and intellectual transformation. The writing system in this period developed rapidly, and a variety of literary genres appeared. Biji officially became an independent literary genre during the Southern Dynasties (420 to 589), and was further perfected during the Tang Dynasty (618 to 907). Additionally, due to the Song Dynasty being a relatively long period of peace in Chinese history, the social and economic development was relatively stable and prosperous, leading to the flourishing of Biji during the Song Dynasty (960 to 1279), (Daiwie, 2007).

Activity 2
According to Liu (2010), some critics have pointed out that biji may be subject to the limitations of the narrator’s positions, biases, and experiences, thus potentially carrying subjective undertones, leading to a lack of objectivity and comprehensiveness in the works, and failing to fully reflect the true aspects of society, culture, and history.

paraphrasing/summarising：

According to Liu (2010), critics argue that biji literature often reflects the biases and limitations of its narrators, resulting in subjective interpretations that may lack objectivity and comprehensiveness. This subjectivity can prevent biji from accurately representing the true nature of society, culture, and history.
