论刘知幾学派的史学风范

On the Styles of Liu Zhiji Historiography School

唐代史学家刘知幾与其友人论道讲学,互相影响,在事实上形成"刘知幾学派"。在当时史馆修史弊端丛生的情况下,他们发扬"无所阿容"的批判精神,坚守"彰善贬恶"的史家职责,主张"善恶必书"的直书原则,展现出史家"以史为鉴"的忧患意识。这种史学风范不仅对当时史学发展产生了积极的作用,而且也深刻影响着后世史学的发展。

Historian Liu Zhiji in Tang Dynasty formed a de facto Liu Zhiji historiography school together with his friends with whom he discussed history and learned from each other.Facing the many weak points and bad deeds in official historiography institutions,they upheld critical spirits of ＂no flattering the power＂ and insisted on historian＇s duties in ＂praising goods and condemning evils＂.Their faithful principle of ＂recording good and evil deeds as they are＂ shows ancient Chinese historian＇s conscience and consciousness of ＂history as a mirror＂.Such a style not only positively promoted the history study development in the dynasty,but also profoundly influenced later Chinese history study.
