《史记》三十世家“破体为例”发微

Rule Breaking in the Notable rulers of Shih Chi

司马迁开创的世家体例,自班固起废除。世家存在时间虽短,但其中的破例问题尤为值得关注,对于管蔡、孔子、陈涉、外戚是否该入世家,可谓聚讼纷纭。研究这一问题需从司马迁著书宗旨、编纂思想以及当时的实际情况出发,世家中看似有争议的篇章实为作者自有深意的安排,后世需用开阔的视野来看待司马迁在编纂史书方面的创造性贡献。

Sima Qian created the type of notable rulers in Shih Chi,but abolished by Ban Gu.The issue of rule breaking demands attention,about Guan Shu、Cai Shu、Confucius、Chen She in the type of notable rulers are controversial.The examples of breaking rules must be studied from the historical conditions of that period,the controversial chapters are actually meaningful,and Sima Qian’ s creativity in compiling historical books must be interpreted with an open mind.
