朱士嘉的新方志学思想

Zhu Shijia‘s Thoughts on New Local Records Studies

朱士嘉是我国当代著名方志学家。在20世纪80年代开展的首轮修志活动中,朱士嘉自觉以马克思主义为指导,在批判传统方志学的基础上,就方志性质、新方志编纂、旧方志整理的相关问题提出许多独到的见解,为当时新方志学的建设与发展作出重要贡献。他认为,地方志是全面记载一定行政区划的自然、社会、人文等历史和现状的综合著述,编纂新方志和整理旧方志都要以为社会主义现代化建设服务为出发点。朱士嘉研究方志学的经验对当前新方志学的进一步发展依然有重要的借鉴意义。

Zhu Shijia is a renowned contemporary local records studies scholar in China.During the first-round local records compilation in the 1980s,Zhu consciously held Marxism as his guiding philosophy and made many original suggestions on issues such as the nature of local records,the compilation of new local records,and the sorting of old local records based on critiques of traditional local records studies,making great contributions for the development of new local records studies at that time.He believes that local records are comprehensive writings with full accounts of the history and current status of a certain administrative region,including its natural environment,the local society,and cultural customs.Therefore,in his view,the compilation of new local records and the sorting of old local records must proceed from socialist modernization construction.Zhu’s experience in and observation of local records studies research are significantly conducive to further development of contemporary new local records studies.
