《史诠》启秘

Shi Quan’s Secrets

佚作《史诠》是晚明学者程一枝撰写的一部不随众流的《史记》研究之作。刘子威《史诠序》认为程一枝精于《史记》,他撰作《史诠》的目的,一是担忧一些学者“未极其致”,二是纠正当时的不良学风。吴子玉《史诠序》倡导“以流通源”的文献阐释路径,阐释了文本解读的难度与不确性,肯定了《史诠》的学术价值,揭示了程一枝的史学“会通”思想。从《史记疏证》援引的《史诠》佚文可以看到《史诠》的内容很丰富,它解释词语、揭示文意、分析句读、阐发体例,于《史记》训诂很有价值;它校订文本、补苴史料、甄别史料、考订史实,是一部考辨《史记》的力作。

The lost work Shi Quan(a book for interpretation of the words and sentences in Historical Records for proof-reading)is a non-mainstream research work on Historical Records written by Cheng Yizhi,a scholar of the late Ming Dynas-ty.Liu Ziwei’s Preface to Shi Quan believes that Cheng Yizhi was an expert in Historical Records and Cheng’s purpose in writing Shi Quan is to worry that some scholars“can not understand Historical Records deeply”and to put the bad style of study right at that time.Wu Ziyu’s Preface to Shi Quan advocates a way of“original text deduced from existing texts”for literature interpretation,and explains the difficulty and uncertainty of text interpretation,and confirms the academic value of Shi Quan with the exposition of Cheng Yizhi’s“thought of unification”in historical study.It can be seen from the missing texts of Shi Quan quoted in Shiji Shu Zheng(a book written for verifying the name of the object,distinguishing and solving the doubts,and making many corrections to the old notes in Historical Records)that Shi Quan is very rich in content and it gives detailed explanation from punctuation-verifying to words,sentence and writing style,which is very valuable for the exegesis of Historical Records.In addition,Shi Quan revises the texts,supplements and distinguishes the historical materi-als,and examines the historical facts,and it is indeed a masterpiece of examining and debating Historical Records.
