刍议南朝的历史思想

The Historical Ideas of Southern Dynasties

南朝偏居江南,朝代更迭频繁,当时的历史思想颇能反应当时的政治状况,统治者大都危机意识强烈,在他们的历史观中均得到了不同程度的体现,如华夷观、奢俭观、兴亡观、人才观等。具体体现在:南朝既以华夏正统自居,轻视少数民族,又要面对少数民族日益强大的事实。因此统治者与史学家都积极总结政治得失和反思奢俭行为,希望摆脱朝代更迭的局面。同时,统治者对文人和武将采取不同的态度:对文人采取"崇其文,轻其用",对武将采取"‘崇其武’,抑其用",使他们为统治服务。

Southern dynasties were located to the south of Yangtze River, and dynasties changed many times. His-torical ideas can reflect the political situations at that time. The majority of leaders had a strong sense of crisis re- flected in their view of history to different extents, such as their views of minorities, extravagance and thrift, rise and fall, and talents.
