老子与中国早期史官

Lao Dan and Early Chinese Historiographers

道家学派的创始人老子是中国早期史官的代表人物。本于中国史官文化传统，老子致力于探究天人关系，推天道以明人事。这种整体思维方式对后世史家影响深远。古代史官在职掌天道的过程中，形成许多朴素辩证法思想。这些思想经过老子的总结和发展而系统化，成为后世史家认识历史、编著史书的一个重要原则。老子的抱朴守真，也成为史家坚持求实精神的思想源泉之一。

Lao Dan, Founder of Taoism , was a representaive figure of early Chinese historiographers. Taking Chinese historiographical traditions as the basis, Lao Dan devoted himself to the stuey of relationship between nature and man, and applied natural laws to human affairs. This integrated thinking model exerts a Profound influence on historiographers of later thimes. Early Chinese historiographers developed rich dialectical thoughts while summing up natural laws. Systemized as natural laws by Lao Dan, these thoughts became an important princi - plet for later historiographers in their work. Lao Dan practiced simplicity and preserved truth, which turned out to be a vital ideological source for historiographers to adopt a realistic spirit.
