何谓世界历史的中国时刻

董成龙博士的《武帝文教与史家笔法》一书,以立朝、立教为线索切入司马迁的汉朝政治观察,通过体味《史记》书法并追索司马迁的心法,把司马迁请回当代,敦促我们缕清自己赖以理解眼下身处的古今之变的政治觉悟。本文与之一起思考,搞清武帝和司马迁所面对的世界历史上的第一个中国时刻;进而指出,该书的时代意义在于,它向我国阵容庞大的史学界提出了一个问题:什么样的史学样式或史学精神才切合我们今天的"世界历史的中国时刻"。

What Is the Chinese Moment in World History

The new book De Paideia Humanitatis Imperatoris Martis et Artibus Historicorum by Dr. Dong Chenglong shows Sima Qian’s own modern study of Han Dynasty with two clues(State and Paideia),appreciates the exoteric art of writing in the Records of the Grand Historian,and finally traces the esoteric meaning of Sima Qian. As a modern scholar in the 21^st century,the author introduces Sima Qian who was also the modern scholar in Han Dynasty to our times,to clarify ambiguous historical and political consciousness by which we can understand our own Querelle des Anciens et des Modernes. Finally,it will be illustrated that the contemporary significance of this new book is his challenge to the circle of historians:what kind of historical paradigm can suit our Chinese moment in world history?
