academic achievement

[Sun14]

Hello, my friends,

I was wondering whether it is idiomatic to say:

Sima Qian's book has a high academic achievement.

Thoughts: Sima Qian was a great Chinese historian and he published a book Records of Grand Historian which is considered the best history book in China. The book was written 1000 years ago.

Sima Qian's history is a high academic achievement. it was a high academic achievement when it was written and still is one today. Is, not has.

And he lived 2000 years ago.

I see. Thank you very much.
