Three issues essential to our insight into the concept and function of historical consciousness, and the description thereof, form the core of this book: historical truth, historical comment and criticism, and ideology (including the historian's trustworthiness). Taking as a point of departure the workings of these concepts in Chinese historical thinking, the volume carefully draws comparisons with similar topics in the Western tradition. It thus advocates and shows a truly comparative approach that sets the stage for an intercultural dialogue on this important subject. The first comprehensive work on the political and cognitive dimensions of Chinese historical consciousness set against its Western counterpart.

"Introduction In early China, the past was ubiquitous. It is no exaggeration to say that almost every text in the extant corpus refers to the past in one manner or another. Some of them merely gesture towards it, say, by invoking the commonplace but densely loaded term for 'antiquity' ('gu' ?), while others would gaze upon the bygone world and interrogate it relentlessly for their own edification. Over the long first millennium BCE, in a profusion of bronze and stone inscriptions, silk manuscripts, and bamboo and wooden slips, a very expansive landscape of the past unfolded"--

Le Traité de l'historien parfait fut composé au début du VIIIe siècle de notre ère, sous la dynastie des Tang, par l'historien Liu Zhiji (661-721) qui souhaitait laisser à la postérité ses réflexions personnelles sur la manière dont l’histoire devait être écrite. Cet auteur fut un professionnel dans ce domaine, employé de l’État impérial, et c’est là que réside tout l’intérêt du livre qu’il nous a transmis, qui nous ouvre pour ainsi dire les portes de l’historiographie officielle en Chine. Traité théorique et pratique, ce texte n’a aucun équivalent connu dans le reste du monde à cette époque. Plutôt qu’un « Comment doit-on écrire l’histoire », le Traité est une sorte de « Comment aurait-on dû écrire l’histoire » car fondé sur la critique de plus de trois cents textes historiques dont la plupart ont été perdus. le Traité est tout autant le cri du cœur d’un historien incompris, que les notes de lecture d’un érudit ou que l’ensemble des sentences d’un juge difficile à satisfaire. La présente édition comporte la traduction intégrale des chapitres intérieurs – le cœur théorique du Traité – et en annexe, celle d’un chapitre extérieur sélectionné pour son intérêt autobiographique. Cette traduction, qui représente un peu plus de la moitié de l’ouvrage dans son ensemble, est la première publiée dans une langue occidentale.-- Quatrième de couverture

In this ambitious work of political and intellectual history, Charles Hartman surveys the major sources that survive as vestiges of the official dynastic historiography of the Chinese Song dynasty (960-1279). Analyzing the narratives that emerge from these sources as products of Song political discourse, Hartman offers a thorough introduction to the texts and the political circumstances surrounding their compilation. Distilling from these sources a 'grand allegory of Song history', he argues that the narratives embedded within reflect tension between a Confucian model of political institutionalism and the Song court's preference for a non-sectarian, technocratic model. Fundamentally rethinking the corpus of texts that have formed the basis of our understanding of the Song and of imperial China more broadly, this far-reaching account of historiographical process and knowledge production illuminates the relationship between official history writing and political struggle in China.
