Reexamination and Reconstruction: In his General Principles of Literary and Historical Criticism, Liu Zhiji observed, "e Real historians should excel in all three aspects, which is a rare thing. The three aspects are: intelligence, learning and insight. Those with learning but not intelligence are like having abundant lands and loads of gold but without the canniness to capitalize their wealth. Those with intelligence but not much learning are equally limited, like ingenious craftsmen who are unable to build the palace as they lack the tools. More important, a real historian should have a sense of justice and dare to record bad deeds as well as good ones, so that corrupt emperors and usurpatory ministers are properly warned."e s [1] We discover that Chinese historiography focuses more on "e intelligence"e and "e learning"e than on "e insight"e , which is independent thinking and understanding in history writing. For Liu Zhiji, "e insight"e means "e sense of justice"e and "e courage to record bad deeds as well as good ones"e . While history scholars are always expected to be intelligent and learned, from the perspective of modern historiography, "e insight"e plays a pivotal role in history writing. It serves as a thread that strings scattered historical materials together and make them a systematic whole to find out more patterns. In fact "e insight"e equals to the term philosophy of history that we use today. The concept of history of literature came from the West. Differences in literary context and individual cognition lead to different understandings in the writing of history of literature. History of modern Chinese literature appeared a bit later than that of Chinese literature. Understanding of the two fields also tend to differ. From the diverse forms of writing of history of modern Chinese literature some researchers have discovered the importance of the philosophy of history of literature in literary historiography. It is fair to say that literary historiography has become a major concern in the study of literary history and a weak link in current discourse. Compared with studies of authors, works and literary trends, literary historiography is still underdeveloped and leaves much room for improvement. Ebook.
