錢鍾書史傳觀臆解

The Hypothetical Interpretation of Qian Zhongshu's Historical Biography View

錢鍾書不寫自傳,且對時興的自傳寫作屢次表達譏諷與批評。這與錢氏關於史傳的看法一致。他依"六經皆史"説提出經、子、集莫非史的觀點,初看似擴大了史料之範圍,實則洞見到史傳作爲文本的非確定性。但這並不意味着錢氏否定"信史"的可能與努力,恰恰相反,他以"談藝者"的生命歷程,提供了解讀史料與認知歷史的深度思考。

Qian Zhongshu did not write autobiography,and he repeatedly cast aspersions and ironies on the popular writing of autobiography.That chimed in with his biography view all the time. He ventured the opinion that Confucian classics, philosophy and literature are all history according to the idea that "the six Confucian classics are all history. "His view seems to enlarge the range of historical materials.Actually it offers insights into the uncertainty of biography. However it does not mean Qian denied the possibility and fundamental principle of"true history. "Just opposite,he provided the deep thinking on the interpretation of historical materials and the cognition of history with his life experience as a literary critic.
