一部优秀的通论性作品应该具备哪些要素——《敦煌学通论(增订本)》序
|
摘要
撰写通论性作品的基本要求是:概括准确、架构合理、条理清晰、语言简明流畅。刘进宝教授的《敦煌学通论》(修订版)在充分参考、概括国内外相关研究成果的基础上,从敦煌的历史、敦煌石窟艺术、敦煌文物的流散、敦煌遗书、敦煌学研究五个方面对敦煌学进行了比较全面系统的介绍,是一部优秀的通论性著作。但和一部经典的通论相比,该书还有很多值得改进之处。
The basic requirements for writing an introductory work are accurate summarization, reasonable structure, overall coherence, and concise and fluent language. By consulting and summarizing both domestic and foreign research results, the text of Introduction to Dunhuang Studies( Revised Edition) written by Professor Liu Jinbao presents a comprehensive and systematic introduction to the following aspects of the field of the Dunhuang Studies: the history of Dunhuang, the art of Dunhuang caves, the dispersion of Dunhuang cultural relics,Dunhuang textual documents, and the history and current research situation of the Dunhuang Studies. The reviewer considers this revised introductory work to be comprehensive and generally reliable, but finds that in comparison with classic introductory texts, there remain places that could be improved.
