班固《汉书》的编撰思想

The Compiling Thoughts Demonstrated in Hanshu Compiled by Bangu

班固是东汉时期史书编撰大家,他的编撰思想不仅丰富,而且自成体系。"宣汉"是其史学思想的核心,也是其编撰思想的核心。"断代"、"崇儒"、"会通"、"切世"都是其"宣汉"思想的衍生物。"断代"思想催生出《汉书》"断代史"体例;"崇儒"思想使班固编撰《汉书》以儒家思想为是非准绳,"会通"思想生成了班固"上下博洽"的编撰方法,而"切世"思想注定了《汉书》具有明显的为东汉政治服务的特征。正是由于班固有着丰富的编撰思想和较为严密的思想体系,《汉书》的编撰才达到了相当高的水平。《汉书》一经编就即成史学经典,对后世史书编撰的影响至为深远。

Bangu is an unrivaled master in compiling historical records in Donghan Dynasty. His compiling thoughts are famous for being not only colorful but self - systematic. The propaganda of achievements and ideology in Han Dynasty has been regarded as the core of his historical thoughts and compihng ideas as well. It consequently gives birth to the following viewpoints including intercepting a certain historical period, advocating Confucianism, integrating various branches and approaching reality. Hanshu presents the style of recording and compiling history in a special historical stage, which derives from the idea of intercepting a certain historical period. The advocacy of Confucianism naturally sets the views of Confucians as the criterion to distinguish right from wrong. The idea of integrating different branches generates the compiling methods of unifying the past and the future. Meanwhile, the principle of being close to reality makes it understandable that Hanshu possesses the features of serving the political purposes of Donghan Dynasty. Bangn is equipped with professional compiling thoughts and rigorous ideological system, which brings out the appearance of Hanshu with such a high quality in compiling. Once being compiled, Hanshu is regarded as a canon of historiography. The canon has a great impact on the later compiling of historical records.
