On the Academic Essence of Chronicles:Taking The Chronology of Song Qi as an Example
A personal chronology,a narrative form of writing on the life and deeds of historical figures in the form of a"spec-trum",lies between the chronicles and biographies of historical books.A chronology is not a pile of information,but a highly aca-demic research work.Dr.Wang Fuyuan,in his The Chronology of Song Qi,with a strict adherence to academic standards,has col-lected and cited a large amount of literature to chronicle the life and deeds of Song Qi,a politician,writer,and scholar of the Northern Song Dynasty.The book not only solves many important problems in Song Qi's life,but also solidly examines his trav-el year,official career,social relationships,and poems and proses,making it an academic work with important reference value for studying Song Qi's life and works.
