This article discusses some historiography problem in the manner of monographic study except introduction and appendix.Therefrom came to the conclusion that:As a national history record of Wu dynasty,WUSHU was written by Wei yao alone.Afterwards,some records of this book were quoted by SANGUOZHI and JIANKANGSHILU.Seemingly as if Wei yao's WUSHU,the main value of JIANKANGSHILU was only to conserve a few historied data.Being short of historian talent,the year of establishment was wrongly defined as the beginning of loyal history by Xiao Dao-cheng and his officials,which made it possible that Liu xiang criticized the illegality of Qi dynasty.In order to eliminate the bad influence of Liu xiang's SONGSHU,emperor Wu appointed two talents to rewrite the history of Song dynasty.So far,the transfer of Qi dynasty official history had been finished.Due to their official missions,Wang Zhi-shen's SONGJI,particularly Shen yue's SONGSHU,were full of untruthful relation.To Shen yue,research was only the means of making his official career.As a result,his academic emphasis constantly transferred according to the govemors' tastes. This made him leech on to imperial power like others of his times,which was important to the mightiness of imperial power in southern dynasties.Furthermore,his practice set a sample to the Confucian renaissance.Shen yue's SONGSHU didn't make a verbatim transcription of He Cheng-tian's or Xu yuan's SONGSHU.Though its academic value exceed Pei Zi-ye's SONGLUE, due to personnel matters,its historical status cannot do better than the latter in Liang dynasty.Notwithstanding,its history structure and historical sense affect deeply the historical records of that times and later ages.From the death of Xiao Bao-xuan to zhe year of A.D.504,Pei Zi-ye had been writing his book SONGLUE,which compiled lots datum approximate to Shenyue's book SONGSHU.Owing to the author of SUISHU insist on historiography tradition of Nourth Dynasty,SONGLUE was known as chronicles.Since its issue,SONGLUE had been long regarded perfectly for its recount and commentary in the history research domain.As a result of the publication of ZIZHITONGJIAN on the revival of SONGSHU,SONGLUE fall apart between the Song Dynasty ultimately.To make Dongwei governor realize the harm of indulging in Buddhism by relating the ups and downs of temples located in Luoyang district,was the real writing purpose of Yang Xuan-zhi.The editorial style of LUOYANGQIELANJI maybe possibly enlightened from Confucian or history books.Since late Ming dynasty and early Qing dynasty,this book was more and more hold in esteem due to the academic transformation.He zhi-yuan' conception of history,the structure and compose of LIANGDIAN was affected by his whereabouts.According to the survived texts of LIANGDIAN,we not only know its writing time approximately,but also know its compile style.In a word,He zhi-yuan' writing purpose was on behalf of Liang Dynasty.By means of GAN Bao's advocate and improvement,chronicle not only restored in the early fourth centuries,but also kept pace with the biography until the forties of fifth centuries.Afterwards,the biography became pramirily historiography forms again.Although Liu Zhi-ji was acquainted with the development of history of that time,remain advocate chronicle meet as equals to the biography between xijin dynasty and northern & southern dynasty because of his practical thought.
