First, the classification method:
1. The reasonable classification methods in development are "seven-point method" (six-point method) and "four-point method" (four-point method).
The traditional book classification in China mainly evolved from the seven-part classification and the four-part classification. There are three key points:
"Seven Views"-Hanshu? Yi wenzhi ","Sui Shu? Jing Ji Zhi and Si Ku Quan Shu Catalogue.
This classification method adapts examples to works; Classification has its own meaning. It follows the recording principle of "stay away from it, get close to it".
2. Historical records directory
Because the historical data is too long, it is compressed and deleted, leaving only necessary comments. Using the bibliography part of official history, the achievements of official history catalogue are preserved through historical records catalogue.
3. Frame structure of note sequence
Starting from Ban Gu, it is divided into three categories: small note, general preface and small preface. Until Sui Zhi continued this method, there were some in the following three categories: Tang, Song, Ming and Qing, but they all followed this framework structure.
Second, the preparation principle
1, dating as a book, accepting the previous generation bibliography, not recording files.
Han Shu, Sui Shu, Old Tang Book, New Tang Book, Song History, Ming History and Qing History Draft. Among them, the records from Hanshu to Songshu include the bibliographies of the previous generation, while Records of History and Arts of Ming and Qing Dynasties are dated as books, and only the ancient books of the past are recorded.
2. Refer to the previous generation's achievements, test the present, narrate the academic origin, and test the books for the world.
For example, Ban Gu took Qilue as the base book, and Sui Zhi took the Catalogue of Imperial Books of Sui Daye as the base book. It can be said that it is carefully selected and supplemented. Sometimes, previous works are quoted as annotations for reference. Relatively speaking, many records of the older generation have been preserved. And list the lost books, incomplete books or other books of this dynasty.
It has a comprehensive and systematic bibliography and abstract nature, and follows the purpose of "distinguishing chapters and studying the origin of mirrors"
3. Follow the compilation thought of "Confucian tradition" (I don't know if this is right, but Han Zhi followed the thought of "respecting Confucianism alone" at that time and was restrained. I don't know whether to respect Confucianism or to promote Taoism in later artistic records, and I'm not sure. Please correct me)
4. Pay attention to academic significance.
It focuses on the excerpts of scholars and academic materials, supplemented by his life and evaluation, and attaches importance to academics.
5. Learning case writing method (uncertain)
This is what I saw in an article. I don't know much about the style of the learning plan, except that it is a special form of writing. You can check to see if there is such a * * * in the compilation of official history and art.
Third, the idea of compilation.
1, historical viewpoint
We generally say that their view of history is "idealistic view of history", but now some scholars think that it is not simple and qualitative, and its view of history is complex and multifaceted.
But what is certain is that their view of history is restricted by the social economy at that time, and there is a trend of continuous progress.
Let me extract a piece of information about Han Zhi. Take a look: emphasize the position of historical change, attach importance to the restriction and influence of historical "potential", emphasize the role of people's hearts in the process of historical development, attach importance to the influence of economic development on historical process and so on. And more shows the tendency of trying to break away from fatalistic theology. The historical view is deeply bound by the Confucian idea of respecting the monarch, and its criticism is low. The compilation method of the first dynastic history, with its regular genre and meticulous compilation, especially its strong feudal orthodox historical view and outstanding academic achievements, has had a very significant and far-reaching impact on China's feudal historiography for more than 2,000 years, and has long been regarded as a "masterpiece of life" and a "crown of historians" by old historians.
2. Literary view
In terms of literary concept, it can be said that this aspect is a progressive literary concept because of the consciousness of stylistic classification.
When compiling, it is not only from the literature itself, but from the relationship between its educational function and artistic characteristics.
These are the points I just thought of, which may not be complete. I think you can probably think from these angles, which may open your mind and move towards an open mind. Wish you success!
