吴士连《大越史记全书》十五卷略论

Remarks on History of the Great Vietnam in fifteen volumes Written by Ngo Si Lien

按照越南历史学家范公著的记载,越南黎朝时期由吴士连编纂的《大越史记全书》十五卷,是吴士连奉黎圣宗之命编纂的,其性质是官修史书。然而根据吴士连本人的记述及其依附谅山王黎宜民(厉德侯)的经历,《大越史记全书》十五卷是吴士连在不能参加黎圣宗组织的国史修纂,且不能阅览新修国史的情况下,效仿司马迁发愤著书,编写完成的私撰史书。吴士连书成之后,其撰写情况史书记载极简。而之前黎文休奉旨所纂《大越史记》和之后的武琼《大越通鉴通考》两部官修史书,史书不仅详录其修纂情况,且书成后均为朝廷所重。吴士连虽不遇于当时,却以私撰史著《大越史记全书》十五卷立言于后世。

The Vietnam's historian Pham Cong Tru recorded that Ngo Si Lien received orders of the king Le Thanh Tong to compile History of Great Vietnam in fifteen volumes,and it was a official book of history.But from the record of Ngo Si Lien and his experiences of attached a rebel king,who killed the Le Thanh Tong brother,he personally compiled History of Great Vietnam in fifteen volumes,there was no order of the king.The great historian Sima Qian was the model of Ngo Si Lien.There were two official books of history,one compiled before Ngo Si Lien,and one after,recorded detailed and valued by the government,but the book written by Ngo Si Lien was simply recorded.The king did not valued Ngo Si Lien,but the great historian personally compiled a good book of history for later generation.
