It is the best source, sometimes the only one, for many topics such as literature in this period.

This work is usually referred to as <i>Later Traditions</i> (後傳), which indicates that the elder Ban's work was meant to be a continuation. Other scholars of the time, including <a href="/wiki/Liu_Xin_(scholar)" title="Liu Xin (scholar)">Liu Xin</a> and <a href="/wiki/Yang_Xiong_(author)" title="Yang Xiong (author)">Yang Xiong</a> also worked on continuations of Sima's history. After Ban Biao's death, his eldest son <a href="/wiki/Ban_Gu" title="Ban Gu">Ban Gu</a> was dissatisfied with what his father had completed, and he began a new history that started with the beginning of the Han dynasty. This distinguished it from Sima Qian's history, which had begun with China's earliest legendary rulers. In this way, Ban Gu initiated the Jizhuanti (<span title="Chinese-language text"><span lang="zh">紀傳體，纪传体</span></span>) format for dynastic histories that was to remain the model for the official histories until modern times. </p><p>For the periods where they overlapped, Ban Gu adopted nearly verbatim much of Sima Qian's material, though in some cases he also expanded it. He also incorporated at least some of what his father had written, though it is difficult to know how much. The completed work ran to a total of 100 fascicles 卷, and included essays on <a href="/wiki/Law" title="Law">law</a>, <a href="/wiki/Science" title="Science">science</a>, <a href="/wiki/Geography" title="Geography">geography</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Literature" title="Literature">literature</a>. Ban Gu's younger sister <a href="/wiki/Ban_Zhao" title="Ban Zhao">Ban Zhao</a> finished writing the book in 111, 19 years after Ban Gu had died in prison. An outstanding scholar in her own right, she is thought to have written volumes 13–20 (eight chronological tables) and 26 (treatise on astronomy), the latter with the help of Ma Xu. As with the <i>Records of the Grand Historian</i>, <a href="/wiki/Zhang_Qian" title="Zhang Qian">Zhang Qian</a>, a notable Chinese general who travelled to the west, was a key source for the cultural and socio-economic data on the <a href="/wiki/Western_Regions" title="Western Regions">Western Regions</a> contained in the 96th fascicle.
