中国通史

by 吕思勉, 张坤 (Editor)

《中国通史》全名《自修适用白话本国史》，由吕思勉先生在历年教学讲稿和史学研究的基础上完善而成。全书约55万字，详细地记叙了上起远古时代，下至民国十一年（1922年）华盛顿会议期间的中国历史，是一部完全意义上的中国通史。全书由绪论和五编构成，每一编内又分若干章，并按中国历史社会的变迁划分为：上古、中古、近古、近世、最近世、现代六个不同的时期。
本书是吕思勉的史学成名之作，也是中国历史上第一部白话中国通史。它规模宏大、视野开阔，史识丰富，笔调流畅，1923年9月由商务印书馆出版后，曾长期作为大学教材和青年“自修适用”读物，出版后数十年内不断重印再版，是民国时期发行量最大的一部中国通史。
为了将这部见解独到、考证翔实，影响了无数读者的史学巨著奉献给当今的读者，我们在再版时，不但保留了原书的双行夹注格式，而且在文字语言风格方面也基本上保持了原书的风格。原书采用民国纪元，本书为了适应现代读者的阅读习惯，则将民国纪元改为公元纪元。此外，还配上了与内容密切相关的插图与图解，以求图文并茂，给读者带来更好的阅读享受。

【2024BOOK03】"General History of China" by Lü Simian. I DON'T LIKE IT! I was looking for an introductory-level book to rebuild my knowledge of the general history of China, and this book is clearly unsuitable for my purpose. Its half-classical-ancient, half-modern Chinese makes it very painful to read. Many arguments feel simply labeled instead of being based on careful analysis. Most importantly, this book was written during the period of the Anti-Japanese War when Shanghai became an "isolated island," which caused a strong nationalist bias. This book has a high rating on reading websites, perhaps favored by those with a strong foundation in the history of China, but it's definitely not a book for me. 😂

【2024年的第3本书】吕思勉的《中国通史》。不喜欢，非常不喜欢。我本来是想找一本入门级的中国通史，重新构建一下自己的中国历史知识体系，这本书显然于此目的不合适。半文半白的语言读起来非常痛苦。很多立论很难看出是经过考据还是简单的贴标签。最重要的是此书成于抗日战争时期上海成为“孤岛”的时候，民族主义色彩极强。这本书豆瓣评分挺高的，可能国学底子好的人喜欢吧，反正不适合我。草草看完。感觉可以和中译本《论法的精神》中译本卢梭《西方哲学史》并称近年三大最让我难受的书。

Haven't really finished , maybe never will. The "author" has the habit of writing a few of his own sentences, then illustrating them with long, long direct quotations from one ancient text or the other to fill space . Very little is his original writing.

这本书其实是吕思勉先生所著的《白话本国史》，并不是吕先生的另一部著作《吕著中国通史》。很奇怪出版社为什么非要换一个书名来出版。

放弃。民国的文字太枯燥了，看不下去。
