论钱澄之史学观的易学思想特色

A Research of Qian Chengzhi's Historical View Guided by the Yi-ology

钱澄之以其易学思想为指导原则来解决当时史学发展中存在的问题。通过定位《周易》为天地之理的诠释方式,钱澄之把文本《周易》形成过程中所遵循的原则投射到了史书编纂方面,回应了史书不信的问题。他用"彰往而察来"统领易学和史学的经世精神,并在以史证易中很好地体现了这一核心内容。通过完善易学变通观和传统的社会变革理论,他很好地坚固了遗民的价值世界。同时,钱澄之主张以"《易》理"概念来规范史学研究视野,有效避免了后者狭隘化的弊端。

Yi-ology was the guidelines that Qian Chengzhi followed in his solving the problems of historical research. He believed that ZHOUYI provided an interpretation for order of nature and its rules can be followed in history compiling. He considered ＂taking past as a mirror＂ as essence of both Yi-ology and statecraft in history and proved it in the process of testifying Yi by history. By improving theories of change in Yi-ology and history, he consolidated the values of adherents of a former dynasty. Besides that, he advocated that the ＇ Idea of Yi＇ should be used to regulate the historical research and overcome the narrowness of it.
