Title: An Opinion on the Narrative Structure of Tacitus' Historiography——And Concurrently on His Historical Perspective
Abstract: Generally speaking,Tacitus' historiography contains three narrative arrangements,scilicet macro view,middle view and micro view.Tacitus constructed a long-range perspective and backdrop mainly by juxtaposing the history events of intestine and overseas,foregone and subsequent,and also by other narrative skills.In this way,the narrative method such as comparison had intensified to an excessive degree the moral purport of Tacitus' historical perspective.As far as the learning features and origin are concerned,Tacitus' history writing related to the concepts of ancient historiography and its original state of affairs.
