*''Died: [[92]] CE''
Ban Gu was the author of the ''[[Book of Han]]'' (C: ''Hànshū''), which set the precedent for Chinese dynastic histories. Written in the early part of the [[Han Dynasty|Later Han]], it emulates the approach of [[Sima Qian|Sima Qian's]] ''[[Shiji]]'' ("Historical Record"), applying that structure to describe just the history of the Former Han Dynasty.
Ban was the brother of [[Ban Zhao]], author of the ''Admonitions for Women''.
