白居易史论探析

On Bai Juyi's Historical Review

白居易的史论可以分为三个部分:对人物的评价,对治乱兴亡的认识,以及对史事记述原则的看法。他认为,应以君子的标准来看待人物,评价其是否"识包权变,理蕴通明";影响国家治乱兴亡的因素是"斟酌于教,经纬其人";对于史事的记述,应遵循孔子"明则有凡例,幽则有微旨"的原则,明凡例,阐微旨。

Bai Juyi’s historical review can be divided into three parts:his critics of historical figures,understanding of the rise and fall of dynasties and views about the principles of historical account.He thought to evaluate historical figures from a gentleman’s perspective,see whether they were following the historical trend.And he believed that the influencing factor of the rise and fall of dynasties is indoctrination.With respect to account of history,the Confucius principle of clear style and obscure purport should be applied.
