康熙政治史学观评议——以《明史》纂修为视角

Discussion on the Historic View of Kang-xi's Politics——The Perspective of Editing Ming History in Kang-xi Dynasty

康熙朝《明史》开修于康熙十八年,历时二十五年,康熙四十三年戛然而止,未能成书。康熙是一位极其强势的帝王,其御编的几十种图书大部分开修、成书于此时之后,皇子争储影响《明史》成书等成说难通;《明史》甫开局康熙即紧盯纂修进程,经常发出编修谕旨,《明史》未能成书的主要原由须在康熙思想中找寻。

The editing of Ming History started in the year of Kang-xi 18 th,which lasted for 25 years in total and stopped in the year of Kang-xi 43 rd,remaining unfinished in the end. Kang-xi was a highly authorized emperor. Books which were edited and written under his lead were mostly done after the year of Kang-xi 43 rd. The saying that Ming History remained unfinished due to the princes fighting for the throne is hardly believable. Since the very beginning,the emperor himself was working on the editing process of Ming History and requests were often heard from him. Thus,the reason that Ming History remained unfinished should be looked into from the perspective of Kang-xi＇s thought.
