由《项羽与刘邦》看司马辽太郎的秦代兴亡论

摘要

In the historical novel ofXiang Yu and Liu Bang, Shibaryou Tarou showed outstanding insight into Chinese history. Qinshihuang and the political structure of Qin dynasty have been always titied ＇tyrannical＇. But Shibaryou didn＇t agree on it, and began to study the rise and decline of Qin in more professional perspectives. Qin is a turning point in Chinese history, and different cultural spirit and political conception of Chunqiu-Zhanguo and Hart co-existed. Radical social reform not only mobilized the social power, but also triggered destabilizing factors, which finally toppled the Qin government.%在《项羽与刘邦》这一部中国题材的历史小说中，日本作家司马辽太郎表现出了卓越的历史见识。秦始皇及秦代政治往往被历代史学著作冠上了“暴虐”的名号。司马辽太郎并不赞同这一过于简单的评价，开始从更加多元的视角去审视秦代的兴亡史。秦代是一个承上启下的时代，春秋战国与汉代两个时代的文化精神与政治观念交织纠缠着，激进的社会改革在调动社会潜能的同时，也促生了诸多不安定的因素，最终瓦解了大秦帝国。
