道家思想与两汉史学的发展

两汉时期 ,中国传统史学步入一个新的发展阶段 ,而这又是与道家学说的演变和发展密切关联、相伴而行的。司马迁、刘向、班固、荀悦等史家的史学活动 ,《史记》、《七略》、《汉书》、《汉纪》等史学名著的相继推出 ,都不同程度地受到道家学说的沾溉、启示和影响 ,并折射出道家思想在汉代演变、发展的轨迹和规律。另一方面 ,汉代道家学说的广泛传播 ,日趋深化和不断完善 ,也往往得益于史家的努力 ,得益于史学的发展。二者是相互促动 ,相得益彰的。我们研究汉代史学史、思想文化史 ,对此应该有所关注 ,有所探究

Daoist Thought and the Development of Historiography in West and East Han Dynasties

Closely related to and accompanied by the change and development of Daoism, the traditional Chinese historiography came into a new phase of development. The writing activities of such historians as Sima Qian, Liu Xiang, Ban Gu and Xun Yue, and the successively publication of such famous history books as the Records of Historians, Seven Brief Records, Chronicles of the Han Dynasty and Records of the Han Dynasty, were all inspired and influenced by Daoism and reflected the tracks and laws of the change and development of Daoist thought in the Han Dynasty. On the other hand, the wide spreading, deepening and improving of the Daoism of the Han Dynasty also profited from the efforts of historians and the development of historiography. They brought out the best in each other.
