读六朝史杂记

Reading Notes of the History of the Six Dynasties

六朝历史,因分裂偏安、转蓬离乱,多遭史家否定。今天看来,需要重新检视。六朝政权继承汉族文明,主宰着南方向中国文化高峰迅猛前进。六朝时期,中国的经济和文化中心逐步向南方转移,南方在宗教、文学、艺术、科学等方面都有长足的进步。六朝虽为偏于江南的地方政权,从国力和军力而言都弱于北方,但在近三百年的历史中,积淀了璀璨的文化。

The history of Six Dynasties is negative to most of historians because of its disruption, floating, hardship and retaining sovereignty over the south China. It needs to be re-examined today. The regimes of Six Dynasties succeeded the civilization of Han ethnic group and played a pivot role in promoting the South to be the peak of Chinese culture rapidly. The centre of Chinese economy and culture shifted towards the South grad- ually and the South had made rapid progression on religion, literature, art and science. The Six Dynasties were local regimes retaining sovereignty over the Southern part of Yangtze River but were weaker than the North on national and military power, but it had accumulated splendid culture for the nearest 300 years.
