The Source of Literature and the Path of Historical Knowledge
by Miao Runbo
About This Novel
There is a natural blood connection between the authenticity of documents and the pioneering and innovative history. Each document system and the origin and context of different text levels may involve the complex evolution of historical narratives, revealing a diverse and rich historical picture; the through-view and in-depth thinking contained in philology are also an important basis for historical research to transcend epochal barriers and achieve overall care. The author of this book carefully studied the historical records of the Song and Yuan Dynasties and the Siku documents, starting from historical philology, based on empirical evidence, and striving for new knowledge. This collection of 24 recent works uses solid case studies and broad interpretations to consistently explore the paths and methods from literature to history, and explore new paradigms of historical research. This book can also be regarded as a development history for young scholars. The "Preface" and the last five chapters of the book ("Supplementary Notes on the History of Liao" and the Tradition of Historical Notes" to "Digression on "Exploring the Sources of Liao History")" systematically elaborate on the method of "from documents to historiography" based on the author's personal practice, which will surely inspire and resonate with the introductory study of history, philology and other fields.
