内史之名及职能演变考析

内史是先秦史官体系中与太史并行的一大史官系统，由商周时期的作册发展而来，因其行事范围大致在周王室宫内，故有内史之名。主要从事册命诸侯、制作文书、考政事以逆会计、助王读赞等重要大事，地位十分尊崇，春秋时期诸侯国很少设置此职。战国秦汉以后慢慢地从史官体系中分离出来，演变成与财务、京师治理相关的官职。

The Origin of Neishi and Its Change in Function

Neishi, ranked equally with court historian and derived from Zuoce from Shang Dynasty to Zhou Dynasty, belongs to official historians in the pre-Qin period. Their activities are mostly confined inside the court, engaged in appointing princes, compiling document, investigating state affairs and assisting the emperor. They are highly respected. In the Spring and Autumn period, this post is seldom found. Later in Warring States of Qin Dynasty and Han Dynasty, this post is separated and has become an official position, related to accounting and capital governing.
