How to compile the records of Emperors and Kings in East Asia? ; "the Veritable Records" in China, Korea, Vietnam and Japan.

《实录》是近代以前中国、朝鲜、越南、日本等国的皇家历史学家在朝廷编纂的。在世界其他地方，没有类似于《实录》的关于皇帝和国王领域的记录。 为什么东亚各朝代都保持着编纂帝王实录的特殊传统？ 本课题从比较史的角度，以国家与朝代、国家与王权的关系为中心，对《实录》的编纂问题进行了探讨。 该项目通过在历史遗址的实地考察以及在中国、韩国、越南、俄罗斯和西班牙的档案研究来实施。该项目在韩国、越南和日本组织了几次讨论“真实记录”的讲习班。

"The Veritable Records ("Shilu" in Chinese or "Jitsuroku" in Japanese)" were compiled at imperial courts in China, Korea, Vietnam and Japan by the royal historian during pre-modern times. No records similar to "The Veritable Records" existent for the realms of emperors and kings in other parts of the world. Why did dynasties in East Asia maintain the special tradition of compiling the records of kings or emperors? This project, putting focus to the relations between states and dynasties, and between statehood and kingship, traces the problems of compiling "the Veritable Records" from the view point of comparative history. The project was implemented through field work at historical sites and also by archival research in China, Korea, Vietnam, Russia and Spain. Several workshops discussing "the Veritable Records" were organized by the project in Korea, Vietnam and Japan.
