《史记》同一篇中有关矛盾记述通释

An explanation about the contradictory records in the same passage of Records of Historian

《史记》在叙史的过程中 ,存在着一些矛盾的记述。即使在同一篇中 ,也不无矛盾龃龉的现象。这些矛盾记述 ,除少数是因疏略或笔误所致外 ,其余大多是由于综括、结构不同来源的史料造成的 ,即因其不同的史料构成决定的 ;其次是由于太史公先录后补、先总后分的叙史笔法造成的 。

In the course of narrating history, there exists some contradictory records in the Records of Historian.This happens even in the same passage.Except for careless omission or slips of the pen,most of the contradictory phenomena result from the writer's summing up historical materials from different sources.Another reason is related to the writer's way of narrating history,that is, he recorded materials first and made supplements later or summed up materials first and classified them afterwards.This paper differentiates these varieties and gives a complete explanation.
