术语“左史”的详细信息

英译术语:

Left History Official

汉语语境:

先秦时期左史与右史的职位是否存在？“左史记言，右史记事” 还是“左史记事，右史记言”？这两个问题一直是争论不休的话题。从文献资料和甲骨卜辞的记载看，左史、右史的职位是存在的，只是随着人们尚右、尚左观念的发展变化，其地位有轻重之分。而记言、记事只是当时史官众多职能中的一项，实则左史、右史皆可为之。

英语语境:

The issues have been a topic of debate for a long time whether official positions like left history official and right history official really existed in the early Qin period, and which position was in charge of recording historical events or remarks. According to the records and oracle inscriptions, the positions of left and right history officials did exist. But with people's changing ideas of esteem preference on the left or the right, the two official positions had different significances at different times. In the early Qin period, recording historical remarks and events was only part of responsibilities of historians, and both the left and the right history official could do it.
