當代人的近代史——劉時舉《續宋中興編年資治通鑑》考述

Contemporary View of Modern History:Studying on Liu Shiju and His Xu Song Zhongxing Biannian Zizhitongjian

本文是對南宋史書《續宋中興編年資治通鑑》進行的綜合考述。首先,對撰者劉時舉的生平進行了考索與推測。並對這部史書書名予以正名,指出其彰顯中興等特點,通過具體比較,揭示其史料價值。從史學史的角度觀察,此書敍事往往首尾回應,體類紀事本末,對編年體史書敍事缺陷頗有補足,可見對編年體史書體裁的創造性拓展。而以史評入書的方式,則反映出南宋史學著作對司馬光《資治通鑑》"臣光曰"以來傳統的普遍繼承。本文還考察了此書的版本源流,着重指出《四庫全書》本所存在的嚴重缺陷與四庫館臣出於各種目的的改動,以期喚起使用者的注意。

This paper is a comprehensive study on the Southern Song Dynasty history book of Xu Song Zhongxing Biannian Zizhitongjian( 《續宋中興編年 資 治 通 鑑》). First of all,the essay conducts study and speculation on Liu Shiju's life. By pointing out its highlights on"Zhongxing"and other characteristics and making concrete comparison,the author tries to entitle the book a proper academic status and reveal its historical value. From the perspective of historiography, the narrative style is similar to"Jishi Benmo( 紀事本末),"which can be a complementary method and a creative development to avoid the defects of chronological history writing. Adding comments to the history book reflects the fact that Southern Song Dynasty writings inherited the traditional way of "Chen Guang Yue"( 臣光曰) in Zizhitongjian( 《資治通鑑》) by Sima Guang. This paper also examines the origins of the book version and stresses the serious defects of Sikuquanshu( 《四庫全書》) which were changed by the compilers for various purposes.
