春秋后期,王室衰微,诸侯纷争。在王室和诸侯自身地位不保的情况下,以保管档案为主要职掌的史官社会地位明显下降,一些史宫带着自己掌管的档案作为见面礼,奔走于各国以求取官职,谋求生路,这是当时档案大量流散的一个重要原因。档案大量流散于社会,对档案的保管留存非常不利,但从另一方面也使社会上一些知识分子获得了接触、了解和利用档案的机会。孔子就是在这种背景下,开始了对古代档案资料的搜集和整理。 Late Spring and Autumn, the decline of the royal family, vassal disputes. In the case of the royal family and the princes themselves, the social status of the historians, whose archives are the chief posts, apparently declined. Some historical palaces took their files in their possession as their greeting ceremonies and ran in various countries in order to seek their official positions in order to make a living. At that time a large number of scattered files an important reason. The large number of files dispersed in society, the retention of the file is very negative, but on the other hand also made some intellectuals in the community access to understand and use of the file. It is against this background that Confucius began the collection and collation of ancient archives.
