《魏書》“穢史”問題新證

New Thoughts on the “Huishi” Problem of Weishu

本文首先論述兩個問題:一,《魏書》有"穢史"之惡名,原以其"好抵陰私"之故,與敍事是否屬實並無關係。"穢史"與"曲筆"發生聯繫,是一個歷史層累的結果。二,《魏書》中出於政治目的,對北魏孝莊帝及其支持者進行了系統的醜化,只有認識到這一點,纔能真正理解"彭韋伊霍"此類措辭背後的政治意圖。重新審視全書,就會發現雖然劉知幾等人對魏收的指責有過苛之處,然而書中出於個人原因歪曲事實的情況確實存在,《北齊書》對魏收"意存實錄"的評價絕非公論。

This opinion,that Weishu is an unfaithful historical writing in theChinese history,was somehow characterized.This Article puts thoughts to the characterization process of making Weishu a"Huishi".The writing’s method of Wei Shou has a propose to systematically defame Xiaozhuangdi and his political supporters.Based on this point,the political intentions could be clarified,which are hidden behind the texts.This could also help us to understand the critics on Weishu in the history,such as some paragraph in Liu Zhiji’s Shitong.
