古籍整理中不可代古人立言

Interpreting the Ancient Books in Historical Context

祖先留下的浩瀚古籍记载了中华民族灿烂的历史文化。传承古代文明成果,首先要准确地理解这些文献。在整理研究古代文献时,存在的一个最大隐患就是"代古人立言"。我们总是在不知不觉中受着现代汉语语感的影响,这样在解读古代的文本时往往会歪曲古人的原意,要避免这种情况的发生,就必须牢固地树立历史语言的观念。

The classical books record the history and culture of Chinese Nation. Accurate understanding of the books is of paramount importance to inheriting ancient civilization. However, in the collation of these books one of the big problems is interpreting them in a modern way under the influence of modern Chinese language, so it is inevitable to misunderstand the classics. To avoid the situation, we need to interpret them in historical context.
