中国历史学自古以来就存在着重考据和重义理两种治学传统。这两种传统之间并无高下优劣之分,高下优劣只存在于各自传统的内部。由于受“重实践”治学精神的影响,中国史学的主流是考据派,而此派在２０世纪受到西方科学思潮的影响而获得了理性的形式后,更有独霸史坛之势。在“科学理性”日益向考据派渗透的今天,义理派应该大胆地向“审美的”领域拓展。 Since ancient times, Chinese historiography has two kinds of scholarship traditions that focus on textual research and re-interpretation. There is no superiority or inferiority between the two traditions, and the advantages and disadvantages only exist in their respective traditional internal. Due to the influence of the “heavy practice” spirit of scholarship, the mainstream of Chinese historiography is a textual criticism school. This school, after being influenced by western scientific thoughts in the 20th century, gained a rational form and possessed the potential to dominate the history of the world. At a time when “scientific rationality” is increasingly penetrating the test-school, the school of justice should boldly expand to the “aesthetic” field.
