歷史現場 ：韓少功讀史筆記
「有人說過，史學就是文學。這種說法不是沒有道理。讀史學也要像讀文學一樣，要重視細節，要體驗和理解生活。」我以為這一段，大可作為韓少功讀史的基本方法論來理解――從生活型態史;風俗文化史;日常語言史讀出思想，讀出政治，讀出生命。」
――黃子平
「我是一個寫小說和散文的，關注活生生的人間百態。出於這一習慣，在讀史的時候免不了在字裏行間心馳神往，常常依託今人以推想前事，想看清文字後面的人與生活……這樣讀史至少比較有趣，眼前的一切會生動許多，會多一些形象;質感乃至氣味。」

About the author
Han Shaogong
29 books17 followersHan Shaogong (Traditional:韓少功; Simplified: 韩少功; Pinyin: Hán Shàogōng; born January 1, 1953) is a Chinese novelist and fictionist.
Han was born in Hunan, China. While relying on traditional Chinese culture, in particular Chinese mythology, folklore, Taoism and Buddhism as source of inspiration, he also borrows freely from Western literary techniques. As a teenager during the Cultural revolution he was labeled an ‘educated youth’ and sent to the countryside for re-education through labour. Employed at a local cultural center after 1977, he soon won recognition as an outspoken new literary talent. His early stories attacked the ultra-leftist degradation of China during the Mao era; they tended toward a slightly modernist style. However, he reemerged in the mid-1980s as the leader of an avant-garde school, the "Search for Roots" or the Xungen Movement.
Han's major work to date is A Dictionary of Maqiao, a novel published in 1996 and translated into English in 2003. His writing is influenced by Kafka and by the magic realism of Gabriel García Márquez. In 1987, he published a Chinese translation of Milan Kundera's The Unbearable Lightness of Being and edited Hainan Jishi Wenxue ("Hainan Documentary Literature"), a successful literary magazine. He has been given the French Ordre des Arts et des Lettres and with other Chinese writers visited France in 1988 at the invitation of the French Ministry of Culture. Han was invited back in 1989 but was denied permission to leave China until 1991.
Han's other works include Moon Orchid (1985), Bababa (1985), Womanwomanwoman (1985), Deserted City (1989), and Intimations (2002).
