Historical Records is a profound Chinese classic.The more I look up to him,the higher he towers;the more I study him,the more profound he becomes.It has a wide range of influence in the world,especially in East Asia.Japan is the center of the East Asian Historical Records study.Shiji Diaoti is a commentary on Historical Records written by Riken Nakai,the fifth generation manager of Huaidetang during the Edo period in Japan.This book is one of the most cited works in Takigawa’s Shiji Huizhukaozheng.Shijiro Ikeda and Liang Yusheng’s Historical Records Zhiyi and praised it as "the double treasure of the Japanese and Chinese Historical Records reference books." It can be seen that the Shiji Diaoti has an important position in the history of East Asian Historical Records research."Shiji Diaoti is based on the Yatsuo first printed copy of the Review of Historical Records published in the thirteenth year of Kanbun(1673),to explain and comment on the main text of History Records,the comments of the three schools and the Review of Historical Records.The content includes words and words interpretation,correction of old annotations,grammar revealing,literal judgments,ideological rubbing and so on.The features of his commentary include:not being stubborn or arrogant,judging things according to history;putting oneself in the position,weighing people according to the actual situation;being good at guessing,explaining according to text,etc.All these show the author Riken Nakai’s profound research spirit on Historical Records.The ideological nature of Shiji Diaoti is mainly reflected in Riken Nakai’s Historical Records view and historical view.As for the former,Nakai emphasizes quality over essays in historical writing,rigorous narration and conciseness of writing;in history reading,he pays attention to meticulous research methods;in history review,he is skeptical based on the principles of positivity and prudence Spirit,so that his historical view has a strong critical color.Regarding the latter,first of all,influenced by the traditional view of history that gradually developed during the Edo period in Japan,Riken Nakai’s view of history has a tendency of non-subjectivism and positivism,which is based on the principle of factual judgment rather than moral judgment.The main features of the view.Secondly,the pragmatic and utilitarian tendencies brought about by the evolution of the world in the Edo period are also reflected in the Shiji Diaoti.Under this historical view,Nakai believes that concepts are fictitious and actions are real.In value judgment,morality is neglected and utilitarian is emphasized,and "the wise one wins." In addition,Shiji Diaoti also shows the simple materialistic historical view of Nakai who does not believe in heaven and ghosts.The relationship between Shiji Huizhukaozheng and Shiji Diaoti is an important issue in the research history of Historical Records in Japan and even East Asia.The main controversy is that the former may plagiarize the latter.Through careful text combing,it can be found that Shiji Diaoti is improperly cited in Shiji Huizhukaozheng.Mainly include:less citations and incomplete,unclear words;generalization and condensing,changing the argument;copying wrong words and words,correcting mistakes;adding presumptuously,changing the crown and wearing the crown,etc.A detailed analysis of all kinds of improper citations reveals that there is indeed an obvious reason for it.Mainly include:when quoting others’ comments,it may be used for reference in Shiji Diaoti without any indication;Shiji Diaoti is not quoted,which is almost identical to it;only Inscription on the is quoted Part of the viewpoint of column of Historical Records,omitted in "Yu an" but there are similar statements;Shiji Diaoti is not cited,but is partially or completely the same semantically as Shiji Diaoti.Further explanation based on Shiji Diaoti.Compared with the Japanese research works of the same period Historical Records,Shiji Diaoti comments are richer,more critical,and more personal.The value of Shiji Diaoti is multiplied due to differences in time and space.For the Japanese Historical Records studies before modern times,its influence is mainly reflected in the publication of the Historical Records collections,such as Shijiro Ikeda’s Supplementary Notes of Historical Records,Takikawa Shiyan’s Collection of Historical Records Textual Research and so on.For contemporary Japanese Historical Records studies,the first public publication of Shiji Diaoti in the 1990s supplemented the important deficiencies in the study of Historical Records in the Edo period in Japan,and added to the research on Historical Records in Japan.New information.At the same time,for the study of East Asian Historical Records,the value of Shiji Diaoti is mainly reflected in three aspects.First,Shiji Diaoti has many original insights on the original text of Historical Records.Excavation can expand the research materials and ideas of Historical Records.make up for the imperfections in the Shiji Huizhukaozheng,and make it more sufficient and accurate.Secondly,Shiji Diaoti integrates comments,annotations,and corrections.It is rigorous in textual research,excellent in review,and meticulous in annotations.Its comprehensive and in-depth research methods are rare in the study of Records of the History.Thirdly,the study of Nakai’s thought in the Shiji Diaoti is of great significance to explore Historical Records and its shaping of Japanese scholars’ thoughts in Edo period,to compare the differences between Chinese and Japanese ancient scholars in traditional and historical views,and the different interpretations of Historical Records brought by the differences.
