钱基博《国学必读》的编选思想及主要特色

Main contents of Qian Ji-bo's Required Readings for Chinese Classics and its editing thought

钱基博是民国时期著名的教育家和国学大师。他在1924年为中学生编选的《国学必读》一书,纲举目张,选文精审,在考虑到当时中学生的实际能力和现实需要的同时,也兼顾了各个朝代的文章,成为当时影响较大、流传甚广的国学普及读物之一。钱基博特别强调文学可以"通国学之邮",故单独拈出《文学通论》作为上册。下册《国故概论》分别按通论、经学、小学、史学、子学来进行辑录,体现了钱基博的"国学分类"思想。《国学必读》对今日之"国学热"或不失为一种反思和参照。

As a famous educationist and master of Chinese culture during the period of the Republic of China, Qian Ji-bo compiled Required Readings for Chinese Classics for middle school students in 1924. The book was well-ordered in structure and strict-selected in writings so that it became one of popular readings to spread Chinese Classics at that time. Qian Ji-bo emphasized the key role of literature and edited General Statement of Literature as volume 1. Volume 2, Introduction of National Cultural Heritage was edited according to the thought of classification of Chinese Classics. The Required Readings for Chinese Classics is thought to be a kind of rethink and reference to today＇s Chinese Classics Craze.
