《后汉书》补表十五种考论

Textual Research on the Biao Adding to the Book of the Later Han

《史记》有十表八书,《汉书》有八表十志,而《后汉书》却只有纪传,表志阙如。萧梁时刘昭注《后汉书》,将晋司马彪《续汉书》的八篇志分为三十卷补之,至宋真宗乾兴元年(1022)合刊为一书。而宋、清两代为《后汉书》补表者众,前后有七家,一十五种,却至今无一可以罗入,且陷入了弃之难舍、取之难用的尴尬境地。原因在于这些表时代背景不同,撰写者掌握的史料不同,史识不同,都表现出明显差异,存在着许多歧误。如今,不少古籍被整理出来,考古出土大量文物资料,新的研究成果不断涌现,在此基础上对诸家补表重新审视,整齐体例,勘合异同,正误补阙,成一家之言,使之成为东汉史研究的学术支持。

There are ten parts of biao （the records of the big historical events） and eight parts of shu （the cultural development records） in Shift, and eight biao and ten zhi （the same as shu） in Hanshu. But in the Book of the Later Han, there is only biography, no biao and zhi. Liu Zhao in Liang Dynasty divided eight zhi in the Xuhanshu （ another name of the Book of the Later Han） by Si Mabiao in Jin Dynasty into thirty volumes and added them when he explained the Book of the Later Han with notes. In 1022, Song Dynasty, the eight biao became part of the Book of the Later Hart. In Song and Qing Dynasties different biao gave into the Book of the Later Han by many people proves unsatisfactory. What is the reason？ How can we make them become our data for the research of the history of the Eastern Han？ My paper will explain them.
