Outline of National History 钱穆 2128Words 2018-03-16
In the autumn of the 22nd year of the Republic of China, Yu began to serve as the lecturer of "General History of China" at the National Peking University.The class is four hours a week and is completed in one year.Talking about general history by yourself is not so difficult as to be well-prepared, but it is especially difficult to be concise and clear.If you ask for comprehensive preparations, then the twenty-five histories, ten tongs, and those who fill the house with houses are there, and the scholars Xin Xi will do what they do, and they will be fully prepared, but it is not four hours a week or one year. You can go as far as you can.

If you want to be concise and clear, you must first make a choice in the heavy national history.And there must first be a systematic point of view, as the standard for its choice.A "body" must be established first, so as to be able to make decisions.The width, narrowness, and length of any cut should be judged to be commensurate with its "body". But how easy is it to say?This is what the ancients called the profession of professional masters.Otherwise, left and right harvesting, traction and patchwork can be endless.In the process of drawing and piecing together, it is reconciled and considered so that its weight and length are slightly equal. This is only like a kind of book in a narrow sense, not a history.Most of the rest of this class takes two hours as a lecture, and one topic is completed in one lecture, and there are more than forty lectures a year.A total of more than forty questions have been completed.If I want to describe the general history of the Ming Dynasty in the more than forty questions, I will give you a brief introduction to the title of each lecture.Teaching general history is the most difficult thing.Who can take on such an important task for a scholar like Mr. She Qian.

After more than a year, scholars are struggling to listen and accept, and the group needs more than lecture notes.Yu said: The great cause of general history should not be taken lightly.Nothing to do, Guyue Yu's talk is an outline, and it's okay to talk about the help of the students' notes.Naturally, every lecture must be compiled with an outline, which only has a moral backbone, and the rhetoric is cut out, so that it can be generalized. However, I am afraid that all students will be accustomed to this for a long time, so the matter is close to the policy, so that the history can be treated on an empty stomach.Historiography should first be the study of historical materials.Those who study history must keep in mind the four words "seek facts from facts", and not have a single word without source when making an argument.But don't choose a reference material to supplement it.For those who are involved in the outline of Yu's lectures, pick pre-historical Chen Wen or ancient texts as a reference, so that scholars can explain themselves.The outline was compiled until the Eastern Han Dynasty, but I thought it was too simple, so I didn't continue it.It is also said that the lectures are righteous, and scholars can take notes by themselves, and they are independent reference materials.

If it is like this for a year, I feel that the reference materials are miscellaneous and messy, and there is no outline to connect them. It is like loose money without strings. Scholars get this.So he changed his plan and compiled another national history reader for scholars to read outside the classroom.He also ordered all students that a "system" must be valuable in order to govern history, but a system must be based on "facts".Different people have different opinions, the system can be different, but the facts are always the same.If you don't know the facts first and seek the system suddenly, if you have no money and hold an empty string, you will lose the meaning of being a string.University courses are heavy, that is to say, like Sima's Tongjian, scholars have been struggling to finish the book, while middle school teaching, the trend of the atmosphere, is also very coherent, and the facts are not detailed.

To study general history, let alone talk about one piece of fact.If so, what scholars get is only systematic and coherent, without historical facts.The so-called systematic and coherent ones are all empty talk and prejudice.Empty talk and prejudice can vary widely, but historical facts have only one truth.Because of the appointment of the Tongjian, the continuation of the Tongjian, and the Ming Tongjian books.Abstract Hook Xuan, compiled as a reader, to make up for the preparation time for scholars to enter the general history of governance. This is the case for another year, from Qin to Ming Dynasty, reading books has a million words.All the textbooks are chosen to correspond to the classroom narration, and the details are slightly different, depending on the origin and end of Yuan's Chronicle.It is said that scholars who treat this book first outside the classroom can not only cure the disease of high heart and empty stomach, but also open a way to gain a glimpse into the original history of history books.

As the years passed, I felt that scholars had too little literacy in their own country. Although the readings were brief, they were all excerpts from the original texts of historical books. Scholars saw that it was like entering a foreign country, and it was not as pleasant and familiar as they read Western books.It is difficult to comprehend the true meaning of the text. As for the names of people, places, officials, laws and regulations, and the facts of cultural relics in historical records, it is even more difficult to be at a loss.It is intended to select all the proper names in historical books and those with side-by-side meanings in the reading book, and annotate them one by one.However, the matter of commentary involves textual research and revision, and it is not easy to seek to correspond to the academic ability of scholars' comprehension.Lessons are too numerous to be successful.If so, it has been four years.

In the autumn of the twenty-sixth year, Japanese disasters broke out at Lugouqiao, and the school moved to the south. Yu Zang usually kept several volumes of notes on general history lectures in his suitcase, and carried them with him.Via Hong Kong, turn to Changsha, to Nanyue.He moved to Yunnan with the school, leaving Guangxi, passing through Vietnam, and arriving in Kunming.The College of Liberal Arts was temporarily set up in Mengzi, until it was tossed and moved, and if it stopped for a while, it would be April of the 27th year.Thinking of fleeing thousands of miles, I have nothing to offer, and I will tell the history of the country for all living beings, and I will be more moved.

After the school was moved and displaced, there were not many books. After listening to the narration, the students were quite prosperous, but they suffered from having no books to read outside of class, and they only relied on word of mouth, which was a deep regret.Because Fu intends to repeat the outline of the previous three years, it will help the needs of classroom presentations. In May of this year, since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, drafts have been drafted one after another, and the banknotes have been passed on to those who are interested.After autumn, the school moved back to Kunming. I thought I hadn't finished my manuscript, so I stayed in Mengzi, hoping to be free and conceive.But in September, the air raid warnings came frequently, and I lived next to the aviation school. Every morning, I carried this manuscript out of the wilderness and returned after noon, which was very painful.Then he transferred to Yiliang, lived in Yanquan temple on Xishan Mountain outside the city, and continued his career.And it's time for school to start.Kunming lives in a busy and busy pass, so I had to go back and forth between the two places.After class every week, I have to come to the mountains for three days to interpret my unfinished threads.There is a lack of reference books and a lack of knowledge, so I can't have peace for more than four days.Yu Chang wrote to his book friends, saying: "This book is difficult to complete, but not what you want. What is it? The fine needles are dense, not only the unpreparedness of the book, the boldness, but also the hatred of the lack of spirit." This book is a manuscript. The real situation in the middle.I caught the whole manuscript below the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and read the old manuscripts before the Eastern Han Dynasty three years ago. I also felt that there were differences in style, style, and detail, so I repeated it.Until June of this year, when the full manuscript is finished, it will take about 10 to 3 months to read it.

However, although this book is sketchy, the reason for this book is that it should be reported to the people of the country, because it is not an introduction.If the words are too complicated to kill, the readers can feel sorry for them.As for the hope of the introduction, this book may not be sufficient, and readers should view it separately. The notes in this book are a collection of notes, and the notes are extracted at any time, which is quite negligent.Most of the sources are not noted, and the volumes are forgotten.Because this book is all cut down, it will not be updated; occasionally it contains the origin, and it is turned into an exception.At that time, the virtuous writings were newly acquired by people nearby, and many of them were collected, but they were not prepared in detail.

The book was completed in a hurry, and only Tang Junxiyu knew each other. He read one or two chapters from time to time and discussed them.I have written and written in my life, and I dare not release it easily.It is better to hide it for a long time and wait for the determination of one's opinion.Although it is not enough to cultivate the world, it also forgives the guilt of its gods. As for this book, it is unique.If it is from a secret store, even if you wait for ten years, you will not be able to determine the end.However, the tyrants were raging, followed by air strikes, and there was always a fear of burning, so they published it at their own pace.Readers of this book, no matter how big or small they are, if any omissions and errors in this book are told by Yi Shu, the words of a single word and the hundred chapters are all my teachers.Dare to worship sincerely, and sincerely pray for it.
