经筵进读与史学义理化

Classic Lecture and the Moralization of Historical Interpretation

宋代历史诠释的一个明显特征在于对当下政治的关怀。在经筵中讲读儒家经典与历史经验,为帝王提供治国理据与借鉴的制度安排,也为士大夫提供了利用历史诠释表达政治观念的合理途径。在具体政治环境的刺激下,以唯道德主义为检验标准的观念体系逐步成熟,并渗透到历史编纂中,使史学诠释产生明显的"义理化"倾向。作者将以《资治通鉴》和《唐鉴》为例,检讨这一过程的发生。

Historians in the Song Dynasty used to highlight the history for the sake of the contemporary politics, which is an evident feature of the historical interpretation. The system of Classic Lecture supposed that the emperors should get self-improvement through learning Confucian Classics and history. And it also was an effective way for the historians to express their political ideas. Against this back- ground, Moralism had taken shape and seeped into the field of historiography. This paper will discuss the progress of moralization through the case-studies of Comprehensive Mirror of Aid Government and The Mirror of Tang Dynasty.
