再论《十国春秋》的体例创新与史学价值

Further Discussion on Style Innovation and Historical Value of History of Ten Kingdoms

吴任臣的《十国春秋》在史料编排、史实考证方面能考核众说,严辨真伪,除烦补阙,自成一家,体现出卓越的史学编纂才能,堪称清初学者编撰前古史的"先驱"之作。但由于该书搜集史料务求内容之繁博,因此后世有"稗贩"之讥。但这些评价多有歧误,吴书在凡例设计、人物归类、义理诉求等方面均有独到创新之处,其"史家义法"尤值得深察。

Wu Renchen＇s History of Ten Kingdoms could check different statements to identify their authenticity in the fields of historical data collation and historical facts research and collate historical data to form its unique characteristic. This book reflects his talent of historical compilation and could be called as one of the pioneering work of ancient history compiled by the scholar in the early Qing Dynasty. But someone also called Wu Renchen a hawker because he was keen to collect wide range of historical data. We did not think this evaluation was right. Wu Renchen＇s work had much unique innovation in the fields of style design,character classification and writing purpose. So its historical value should be discussed deeply.
