朝鲜王朝正祖君臣的“宋史”认识与《宋史筌》之修撰

The Compilation of Songsajeon and King Jeong-jo and His Ministers' Understanding of the History of Song Dynasty

《宋史筌》是朝鲜王朝根据元官修《宋史》而进行改修,由正祖亲撰和御定,众多阁臣、儒生等参与编校而成的一部"宋史"。正祖君臣基于而又超脱于《宋史》文本的"宋史"认识,促成了《宋史筌》的撰作。该书修撰历时约20年,义例、内容多次调整,经若干版本,于1791年成书150卷。虽然《宋史筌》并未在朝鲜产生较大的影响,但作为唯一一部官修纪传体"宋史",其在文化史和史学史等方面的意义是十分显著的。

Based upon the officially compiled Song Shi(《宋史》,The History of the Song Dynasty) by the Yuan government, King Jeongjo of the Choson Kingdom personally organized a revised version of the Song history, entitled Songsajeon(《宋史荃》). The whole process of compilation took twenty years and several editions were produced before the 150 volume final version was eventually finished in 1791. Although the influence of this book within Choson was not significant, as the only official compiled chronology and biography style Song history in Choson, the importance of this book in the cultural history and historiography of Korea is remarkable.
