清代官方史籍的修纂与边疆问题

The Compilation of Official History and Borderland Question in Qing Dynasty

清朝疆域辽阔,统治者在对边疆进行经营管理时,非常自觉地通过官方修史来表达自己的边疆观念。其表现主要有三种:一是通过官方修史把边疆的各种变化及时写进史书,以昭"天下一统"的疆域观念,不断强化人们的国家版图意识。二是着力记述边疆与内地的联系,维护祖国边疆统一。三是记载统治者对于边疆问题的忧患意识,及时总结安定边疆的经验,警醒人们注意防范边疆危机。把史书编纂与王朝疆域紧密地联系在一起,通过官方史籍的修纂,记载国家疆界,强化国家一统,借修史表达统治者的边疆意志和利益要求,是清代官方史学的重要现象。

When the rulers of Qing Dynasty carried on operation and management over the vast territory, they often tended to express their own borderland ideas through the compilation of official history. There are three main forms： the first is to strengthen the idea of united world and the sense of the national territory through recording the borderland changes promptly in the history books; second, the relation between the borderland and the inland is focused on so as to attain the goal of safeguarding the motherland＇s unification; third, the risky sense of the rulers about the frontier is recorded as well as the experience of stabilizing the borderland in order to awaken people to pay attention to the borderland crisis. Connecting historical compilation with Dynasty territory, the amendments have recorded the country＇s borderland to strengthen national unification. That the rulers expressed their wills and interests of the borderland through historical compilation is an important phenomenon in the compilation of official history in Qing Dynasty.
