越南古代史的分期问题新论

On the Stages of Ancient History of Vietnam

历史分期对一部史书有提纲挈领的重要作用。在古代越南,由于史籍主要是按王朝编年史体例来编纂的,所以历史分期问题并不凸显。近现代以来,越南史学界多采用四分期法,少数学者则采用三分期法。实际上,越南古代历史还可以采用五分期法,即史前、郡县、自主三个时期,其中自主时期又可分为建国、南进、南北融合三个阶段。这样的分期法有助于勾勒越南古代史发展进程的清晰脉络。此外,与分期问题相关的"丁朝建国"、"西山能否作为正式朝代"等问题也有论述的必要。

The division of history stages is very important for a history book; however,it's not an outstanding question during the ancient period in Vietnam because most of the dynastic history books are chronicles. Since 19 th century,modern Vietnamese historians usually divide Vietnam's history into four stages,while a few scholars adopt three-stage viewpoint. In fact,the ancient history of Vietnam can be divided into five stages: besides prehistory period and county period,the independent period can be divided into three phases,which are the period of Vietnam coming into being a country,the period of Vietnam going forward south,the period of amalgamation of peoples in North and South.The five-stage method helps to clearly outline the development process of ancient Vietnam. Moreover,the paper also explores the historical position of Ding Dynasty and ty Son Era.
