南宋时期,随着史学经世之风的高涨,史学家愈发重视对“事”的考察,一种以事件为中心的史书体裁已经呼之欲出。袁枢自身的努力以及对史学发展趋向的敏锐把握,最终使他创立了纪事本末这一新史体。纪事本末体自成一家,备载诸事本末之书,突破了纪传、编年二体的局限,受到后世论者的交口称赞,殊非偶然。 In the Southern Song Dynasty, with the rising of the style of historiography, the historians paid more attention to the investigation of “things ”. A history-based genre centered on events is ready to come out. Yuan Shu’s own efforts as well as the keen grasp of the development trend of history, eventually led him to create a new body of history. The book of the Chronicles is a self-contained body that prepares the books of the day and the end of this book. It has broken through the limitations of both chronicles and chronicles, and has been praised by the later writers as a non-coincidence.
