Abstract
When we judge contemporary Chinese historiography, the problem of writing style has become prominent that stifles historiography innovation and affects academic communication. It can not be solved fundamentally if we just advocate the improving of scholars' literary accomplishment. The solution to the problem lies in the breakthrough in theory and concept. Imaginative thinking is an indispensable part of historical research. Historians should be noble and emotional and full of rich imagination. If there is no deep theoretical reflection on the writing style of historical works, or if we stick to the traditional concepts of so-called positivism and objectivity of historical narration, reject the application of thinking forms such as imaginative thinking and historical imagination in historical narration and can not recognize the appropriateposition of emotional factors in historical research, it is impossible to solve the problem of writing style of historical works fundamentally.
检视当代中国史学,文风问题已经成为窒息史学生机、影响学术传播的突出问题。如何使史学论著变得灵动而具有文采,仅仅局限于提倡增加学者的文学修养,已经不能从根本上解决问题。解决问题的出路在于理论上和观念上的突破。形象思维是历史研究不可或缺的一环,历史学家需要有高尚而饱满的情感和丰富的想象力。如果没有对历史著作文风问题深刻的理论反省,还是固守历史叙事的所谓实证性、客观性等传统观念,排斥在历史叙事中对形象思维、历史想象等思维形式的运用,不承认情感因素在历史研究中的正当地位,要从根本上解决史学著作的文风问题,则是不可能的。
