中国自黄帝时代起便有史官，由于当时史官职权的特殊性——掌管人事、沟通鬼神，所以史官一开始就有超然世俗政权的地位。但是从春秋战国开始，史官的地位便慢慢下降。至北魏“崔浩国史案”的爆发，真正标志着史官地位从可以和当权统治者平等对话到受统治者控制的一个转变。这其中的原因包括对鬼神不信任、学术的下降以及中央集权的加强、皇权不容侵犯。

According to historical records, official historians have come into being in China since the Yellow Emperor Era. Because of the particularity of the powers held by official historians--being in charge of personnel and the communicating with spirits, their status is superior to governmental authority at the very begining. However, the situation has been changed since the Spring and Autumn and the Warring States Periods. It is when the ＂Cuihao State History Case＂（happened in the Northern Wei Dynasty） break out that there is marked decrease of official historians＂ status from having the equal dialogue right with rulers to being under control of rulers. There are many reasons for the change, including spirits distrust, academic declining, enhancement of centralization and the imperial inviolability.
