乾嘉时期史学家论史书叙事之美

清代乾嘉时期是中国古代史书叙事理论发展的集大成时期。乾嘉时期的史学理论家和考史学家在叙事之美的探讨上,自觉区分了文学叙事与史书叙事,提出了＂情事如绘＂的叙事境界说。他们主张史书叙事的熔裁与锤炼。在阐发叙事之美的内涵时,乾嘉史学家充分肯定了＂情＂在叙事审美中的重要地位。同时,他们也强调＂情贵于正＂,要谨慎处理客观历史事实和史家主体的情感与价值取向之间的关系。

Abstract：

The Qia-Jia period of Qing dynasty is a period when brilliant achievement is made in narrative theory of history books.The historiography theoreticians and textual historians distinguish between literary narrative and historical narrative and then propose ＂narrative as painting＂——the theory of the state of lively narrative.They argue the comprehensiveness of genres and polishing of narrative as well as tact,grace and rhythmical prose with parallelism and ornateness adopted in the writing of history.Historians affirm that ＂feeling＂ in the aesthetics of narrative is very important.They also emphasize ＂feeling requiring justice＂and prudent management of the relationships between the objective historical facts and the feeling and value orientation of historians.
