范晔的东汉正统观

FAN Ye's Orthodox Ideas about the Eastern Han Dynasty

正统思想是中国古代史家解释政权合法性和政权更替合理性的重要理论。范晔的正统观念非常强烈,左右着他对东汉历史的认识,如他对东汉前后其它诸多政权贬斥,对东汉衰亡的反思,但着力点在于确立东汉的合法地位。无论体系结构,还是语言,《后汉书》都突出了东汉纲举天下、总揽一代的正统地位。

Orthodox thought is a reasonable and important political theory that ancient Chinese histonians explain the legality of a political power and the rationality of its replacerment.FAN Ye＇s Orthodox idess were very strong and they influenced his understanding of the Eastem Han histroy,the denounce of other regimes and the reflection of the decline of the East Han Dynasty,but the focus is on the legitimateness of the East Han Dynasty.Houhanshu stresses the legitimate position of the East Han Dynasty,leading all nations and taking responsibility of a time.
