柳诒徵《国史要义》史学理论体系的建构

Construction of the historical theory system of Essentials of National History by Liu Yizheng

柳诒徵《国史要义》一书援经入史,将礼作为史学的主线,追溯与考察史学本原、平议与发皇史学体例、梳理与归纳史学义例、判断与阐扬史学正统;将道德作为史学功用的准鹄,强调治史畜德、读史求识、学史用世、观史明教。该书在对吾国人本主义的挖掘中揭橥中国文化要义,并由此完成了柳诒徵史学理论体系的建构。

Essentials of National History by Liu Yizheng incorporates the classics into history and takes the ritual as the main thread of historiography,tracing and examining the origin of historiography,discussing and interpreting the style of historiography,sorting and summarizing historical examples,and judging and promoting the orthodoxy of historiography.Essentials of National History also takes the morality as the guiding principle for the function of historiography,emphasizing the cultivation of historical ethics,the pursuit of knowledge through reading history,the application of history to the world,and the cultivation of a clear understanding of education through the study of history.The book reveals the essence of Chinese culture in the excavation of our country s humanism,and thus completes the construction of Liu Yizheng s historical theory system.
