Abstract
The origin of Chinese standard histories is
Shih-chi, a general history whose author is
Sy-ma Chian. Han-shu, mainly written by
Ban Gu, was the model of following dynastic
standard histories. Just as Zheng Chiao ( a
historian in Song dynasty) said, ‘ The ten
tables function most importantly in the whole
work of Shih-chi. ’ There are profound
meanings and extraordinary functions in the
ten tables, with which the main outline of all
outlines of Shih-chi is constructed. One of
my purposes in the plan ‘ a New Study of
Ten Tables of Shih-chi ’ which is now being
undertaken is to understand the author’s
purposes and spirits as well as the principles
and methods he used in creating ten tables.
TGPM is an outstanding example among
the ten tables to show that the author’s
thoughts on politics could even be recorded
profoundly in a table. There is a table in Hanshu
concerning similar themes but with some
differences in its forms and purposes. That is
TAOM. The texts and form of TAOM deeply
influenced both tables and Zhi( 志) of
following standard histories. Now in this plan,
a careful view of the transformations from
TGPM to TAOM will be taken. The authors’
purposes and spirits as well as their
principles and methods in creating the two
tables will be discussed completely. With this
study, the axis of the development of tables
in Chinese history would be clear. A special
perspective to compare Shih-chi and Han-shu
will also be suggested and put in practice.
We hope the fruits of this plan will pave the
way for historians today to make use of the
form of tables to write histories.
