论断代志“纵贯详记”编纂原则

On thePrinciple of “Vertical Detailed Accounts”inCompilingPeriodical Local Records

通志是古代志书的主流编纂形式,并形成与之相匹配的处理纵向内容"详今略古"编纂原则,达到统合古今历史与现状的目的。首轮修志继承了这一传统,较好完成了省、市、县三级志书的编纂任务。而第二轮修志的主流编纂形式是断代志,没有现成的编纂原则可以继承,需要确立"纵贯详记"编纂原则与之相匹配,用以指导纵向内容的记述,才能达到全面、系统、准确记述自然、社会和人文的历史与现状的目的。

The form of General Records is the leadcompilation form of local records for ancient records.It holds theprinciple of 'presenting contemporary issues in details and ancient issues in brief'which contributed torecording vertical contents in greater details and helped acheive the objective of integrating ancient and contemporary history.The first-round local records compilationfollowed this traditional form and completed the compilation task of the three-tier local records,i.e.provincial,municipal,and county records.However,the lead compilation form of the second-round local records compilation is in the form of periodical records.There have been no existing compilation principles to be followed,and thus the compilation principle of'vertical detailed accounts'needed to be established so as to guide accounts of vertical contents to achieve the objective of recording the past and present state of nature,society,and humanities in comprehensive,systematic,and accurate manners.
