《宋太宗实录》与《长编·太宗朝》殊异考

Study on Differences Between Song Taizong Shi Lu and the Taizong Period of Xu Zi Zhi Tong Jian Chang Bian

《宋太宗实录》(以下简称《实录》)与《续资治通鉴长编》(以下简称《长编》)太宗朝,虽同为记载太宗一朝历史,但存在着相当大的差别。对两书的殊异进行研究发现:一是编撰内容不同,尤其是对重要事件的记载不同;二是编撰者思想倾向不同,《实录》维护太宗、真宗皇帝的正统性,而《长编》李焘的思想倾向相对中立、客观;三是史料价值不同,《实录》的史料价值主要在于原始性,《长编》的史料价值在于繁复和考异。因此,两书可以相互补阙证讹。

Although Song Taizong Shi Lu and the Taizong Period of Xu Zi Zhi Tong Jian Chang Bian both record the history of Emperor Taizong,there are considerable differences between them.The study on the differences of the two books finds that firstly the two books compile different contents,especially the records of important events,that secondly the ideological tendency of the two writers is different in that Song Taizong Shi Lu maintains the orthodoxy of Emperor Taizong and Emperor Zhenzong,while in the Taizong Period of Xu Zi Zhi Tong Jian Chang Bian Li Tao’s ideological tendency is relatively neutral and objective,and that thirdly the historical value of the two books is different.The value of the historical materials of Song Taizong Shi Lu mainly lies in the originality while the historical value of Xu Zi Zhi Tong Jian Chang Bian lies in the complexity and comparison.Therefore,the two books can complement each other.
