清水江文书在重建中国历史叙述上的意义

On the Significance of Qingshuijiang Documents in the Reconstruction of Chinese History Narratives

不同的文献系统代表着不同的历史叙述,官修正史必然是国家意志的体现,民间文献则体现了普通民众的行为逻辑。民间文书的意义,有助于我们理解特定时间下人的行为及其异同。利用清水江文书重建西南乃至中国的历史叙述是一个系统工程,需要放到一个更长时段、更大范围的历史进程中去解读。

The reconstruction of Qingshuijiang Documents to southwest China or Chinese narratives needs to be interpreted in a longer and broader history.
