东周史体的分衍与融合

The Divergencess and Convergences of Historiographical Genres in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty

东周是中国历史上的大变革时期,各个领域都发生了前所未有的革新。在史学方面,随着礼崩乐坏,史官史学走向衰落,史体受到新环境、新思潮的影响,衍生出各类新体裁与新形态。同时,史著又在数代人的传抄、整理与增改中不断碰撞与交融,大量碎片式的历史文本得以聚合整编,出现了多种体裁的综合运用,推动了史体的演变。东周史体的分衍与融合不仅体现了史著体裁的变革,更是中国古代史学从幼年走向成熟的重要表现之一,其为当时及后世史体的发展与完善奠定了基础,也为历史书写赋予了更多意义与价值。

The Eastern Zhou Dynasty was a period of great transformation in Chinese history,and dramatic changes took place in various fields.In terms of historiography,the writing of official histories declined with the disintegration of moral orders,and historiographical genres were shaped by the new environment and new trends of thought,thus evolving into various new formats.At the same time,these works were constantly colliding and blending with each another in the process of copying,collating,editing,and revising by generations.The differentiation and integration of the historical styles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty not only reflects the change of writing genres of history books,but also was one of the important turning points in the development of ancient Chinese historiography,from infancy to maturity.This process laid the foundation for development and perfection of historical styles of the time and in late generations,and also uplifted the significance and value of historical writings.
