论柴德赓史学的求真与致用思想

On Chai Degeng’s Thought of Seeking Truth and Meeting Practical Need

柴德赓是中国近现代著名史学家,史学思想讲求求真与致用。柴德赓的求真思想体现在考史上,主张通过稽考史源以考证讹误,梳理史料源流脉络以阐明史实;体现在论史上,论历史人物辩证公允,评历史撰述恰当中肯。考史和论史都秉持实事求是的治史准则。柴德赓的致用思想以爱国主义为核心,以史学研究弘扬爱国行为,表彰遗民气节;抨击卖国行径,表达对国民党政府昏聩愚昧的不满;阐析正统观念,彰显民族意识。柴德赓的史学思想将求真和致用相结合,求真以致用为目的,致用以求真为前提,学术追求与关注现实高度统一。

Chai Degeng is a famous historian in modern China and his historical thought stresses seeking truth and meeting practical need.His truth-seeking thought is reflected not only in examining history by verifying errors and clarifying facts based on historical sources but also in reviewing history by commenting historical figures and writing from dialectical and fair view,which upholds the principle of seeking truth from facts.His meeting-practical-need thought takes patriotism as the core,which promotes patriotic and loyal behavior through historical research,criticizes traitorous acts and incapable government,and highlights legal authority and national consciousness.Chai Degeng’s historical thought combines seeking truth and meeting practical need,which takes the first as the premise and the second as the purpose showing the unity of his academic pursuit and reality concern.
