论钱基博对章学诚修志思想的继承和发展

On QIAN Jibo's Continuation and Evolution of ZHANG Xuecheng's Theory of Compiling Local Records

钱基博在丰富的修志实践基础上,形成了自己的方志思想。这些思想是对章学诚修志思想的继承,并有所发展创新。在方志性质上,钱基博认为方志属史,讲究方志编纂的可靠性和严肃性。在方志功用上,钱基博进一步深化章学诚经世致用的思想,凸显了"资治、存史、教化"的整体功用。在方志修纂人员组织上,钱基博认为方志为专门学问,但不排斥文人修志,重视修志人员专门化培训,以提升其修志素养。在修志材料上,钱基博继承章学诚资料是修志基础的观点,还利用图书馆和社会征访拓宽修志资料的来源。

QIAN Jibo forms his own theory of compiling local records through his rich compiling experience.QIAN’s compiling theory is a continuation of the compiling theory of ZHANG Xuecheng on one hand,and a development and innovation on the other hand.According to QIAN’s compiling theory,local records belong to history in nature,and the compiling should be reliable and serious;in function,the local records should be useful and applied in governance,history,and indoctrination,which deepens further ZHANG’s theory of practical utility.As for compiling personnel,QIAN believes compiling local records is specialized expertise,so the compiling personnel need specialized training for improvement.But QIAN does not reject literati to compile local records.In compiling materials and resources,QIAN agrees with ZHANG that materials are the basis for compiling,and QIAN further puts forward that libraries,collecting and interviewing should be used to widen the materials and resources for local records.
