刘知几在《史通》一书中,对史书应该使用骈体还是散体进行了深入的分析和论证:他总结史书中论赞的写作经验,认为该用散体而不宜用骈体;他推崇“尚简”与“用晦”的方法,强调史文叙事该用散体而不宜用骈体。他还以史学的传统家法为理论根据,指出史书使用骈体有悖于“实录”原则。这些主张有一定道理,但也有片面性。 In his book Shi Tong, Liu Zhiji made an in-depth analysis and argumentation on the history books by using the body or the body: he summed up his writing experience in the history books and concluded that the body should not be used as a body; “Shang Jian ” and “use obscurity ” approach, emphasizing the narrative of the historical narrative should not be used in bulk. He also based on the traditional method of historiography as the theoretical basis, pointing out that the use of “Shi” in history books runs counter to the principle of “Record ”. These ideas have some truth, but they are also one-sided.
