论章学诚的方志学说在晚清之回响

The Resonance of Zhang Xuecheng's Local Records Theories in the Late Qing Dynasty

传统的观点认为章学诚在他生前因不善考证并批评考证而被边缘化,在他去世后相当长时间内,章学诚的学术思想也一直处于潜伏隐晦的状态。直到内藤湖南、胡适、何炳松等现代学者把章学诚从"地下"发掘出来,他才扬名于天下,其学术思想才开始产生广泛的影响。而事实上,在他去世后的晚清100余年间,方志学思想作为章学诚学术思想的核心部分已经产生了广泛而深远的影响。他的主要方志学创见在晚清基本都得到回应,也不乏一些学者效仿章学诚的修志体例撰修方志。章学诚的方志学说被引用率极高,晚清方志学家已经奉他为方志学的权威。

It was thought traditionally that Zhang Xuecheng was marginalized during his lifetime because he was not good at textual research and voiced criticism about textual research,and for a rather long time after his death,his academic thoughts had always been in a hidden state of obscurity. It was not until modern scholars such as Naito Konan,Hu Shi,and He Bingsong had him 'unearthed'that he became famous and his academic thoughts started to have wide influence. Yet in fact,during one hundred years or so after his death in late Qing Dynasty,Zhang Xuecheng's local records studies thoughts,as the core part of his academic thoughts,had already exerted wide and deep influence. His major innovative propositions in local records studies virtually all receieved feedbacks in the late Qing Dynasty. Quite a number of scholars followed his style to compile local records. Zhang Xuecheng's local records thoughts have a high rate of quotation,and many scholars in local records studies in the late Qing Dynasty looked up to him as an authority in this field.
