《清实录》曲笔之考察

Investigations into the Use of Qubi(曲笔) in QINGSHILU

实录作为传之后世的"帝王之书",与当朝政治密切攸关。慑于统治阶级的权威和强大的政治压力,清历朝实录都存在一定程度的隐恶扬善、歌功颂德、曲笔逢迎之弊。从内容上讲,主要集中在开国历史、皇帝言行、统治阶级内部斗争及镇压民众起义等方面。其篡改史实的手法,归纳起来主要有润饰、删减、增补、缺略四种。

SHILU, as the emperor＇s book for later ages, has intimate connections with contemporary politics. Being afraid of the ruling class authority and the powerful political pressure, there is the disadvantage of concealing the evil and praising the good, singing praises of someone and distorting the facts in the SHILU of the Qing Dynasty. Speaking of its content, such disadvantage can be found in the history of founding the state, the emperors＇ words and deeds, the interest struggle in the monarch class, and suppressing the people＇s revolt. In general, the methods of its tampering with historical facts can be considered to be of four types： modification, deletion, supplement and omissions.
