胡适在《上海小志·序》中谈到方志纂修中存在着“贤者识其大”与“不贤者识其小”的问题,批评那些自认为贤者的修志者在志书内容的选择上注重政事、官事等所谓的大事而忽略或者淡化“纤悉琐屑”的民情、民风等民生状况。这种现象在一些新修志书中一直存在,即为思想意识中的“官本位”与“民本位”问题,表现为“官本位”思想越来越浓厚。志书内容在“识小”方面的缺失,不但不利于地方志事业的发展,也是志书流传不远的重要原因。 Hu Shi talked about the preface to the book “Shanghai Xiaoshi” in his compilation of the compilation of “sage” and “not sage”, criticizing the practitioners who consider themselves sage In the choice of content in the book focus on political affairs, government affairs and other so-called major events and neglect or dilute the “smelly” and the people’s livelihood. This kind of phenomenon has always existed in some new books, that is, it is the issue of “official standard” and “people-based standard” in ideology, which manifests itself in an increasingly thicker ideology of “official standard.” The lack of content in the content of “Zhi Xiao” is not only not conducive to the development of local history, but also an important reason why it is not so far away.
