论连横《台湾通史》的编纂思想

A Discussion on the Historiographical Thoughts of The General History of Taiwan by Lian Heng

2018年为台湾史学家连横诞辰140周年,其著作《台湾通史》成书100周年。本文从历史编纂学的视角,探讨《台湾通史》的历史编纂思想,以表达对这位伟大爱国史学家之纪念。《台湾通史》以爱国保种、弘扬民族精神为编纂宗旨,传衍了秉笔直书的实录精神,表现了以民为本的进步史观。《台湾通史》既承袭了《史记》所开创的纪传体编纂体例,又有所创新,其对台湾1290年历史所作的纪录,有力地印证了台湾与大陆不可分割的历史。在近年来岛内"台独"活动猖獗的情况下,我们对《台湾通史》的进一步探讨具有十分重要的现实意义。

The year of 2018 is both the 140th anniversary of Lian Heng＇s birth and the 100th anniversary of The General History of Taiwan written. This article discusses the historical compilation thoughts of The General History of Taiwan in historiography in memory of the great patriotic historian. The compiling purposes of The General History of Taiwan are patriotism, for the preservation of the Chinese nation, and carrying forward national spirit. The books reveal the spirit of respecting facts and express the progressive peopleoriented history concept. The General History of Taiwan inherits the biographical style created by Historical Records, and makes innovation as well. The records of the 1290 years of Taiwan history strongly prove that the history of Taiwan and the mainland are inseparable. The ＂Taiwan independence＂ activities have been rampant in Taiwan for the past two years, thus further discussion of General History of Taiwan is of practical significance with that backdrop.
