《史记》及史家底传叙

Shi Ji and the Biography of Historians

本文为已故朱东润先生（1896~1988）未刊稿,约撰写于1940年6月后不久。此前因教学安排,朱先生完成《史记考索》一书,以文献考订为主,但他的学术兴趣则更多地关注中国历代传叙文学研究,撰《传叙文学之变迁》加以探讨,其中包括本文,是有关人物传记与全书评骘之专论。本文谈到正史的范围,讲到史传与传叙文学的联系与区隔,《史记》互见体例之运用及其局限,特别讨论到《管晏列传》、《魏公子列传》、《魏其武安侯列传》以及项羽、刘邦本纪之人物叙写的成就和偏失。本文是朱先生学术鼎盛时期的力作,笔力健旺,议论风发,分析细致,识透纸背,显示融贯东西、参悟古今的气象格局。

This article is an unpublished manuscript of the late Professor Zhu Dongrun,probably written in June,1940. Before that Professor Zhu had finished his Shiji kaosuo（ textual research of Shiji） as part of his teaching arrangement,but he concerned more about the biographical literature in ancient China. He wrote Revolution of Biographic Literature,including this article,which is a monograph on biographies and entire books. This article comes to the scope of official history, discusses about the relation and differences between historical biography and biographical literature,and gives insight into ＂Guanyan liezhuan＂,＂Weigongzi zhuan＂,＂Weiqi wuanhou zhuan＂,and the pros and cons of the biographic narration in Xiangyu benji and Liubang benji（ emperors＇ biography）. It is one of the best works during Professor Zhu＇s academic peak,vigorously and critically written,with meticulous analysis and deep insights. A mind integrated the West and East,the past and present is demonstrated in the article.
