地方志自然部类编纂略论

Brief Analysis of the Compilation of the Nature Category in Local Records

自然部类是地方志的基础部类,两轮修志后自然部类框架逐渐趋于成熟,成为现在所看到的样子。然而,在实际审稿和阅读中可以发现,自然部类的编纂还存在一些不足之处,例如存在全部照搬前志的现象、部分篇目设置不当、记述有误等问题。那么在未来自然部类的编修中,应该做到在前志的基础上查缺补漏,对错误的地方进行改正、变化的部分记录变化、更新自然科学术语以提高科学性。此外,还应重视科研工作者的成果,加强自然部类与人文科学的融合,提高自然部类的可读性,吸纳更多专业人士参与志书编纂。

The nature category is one of the basic categories in local records.After two rounds of local records compilation,the framework of this category is made clear,as is seen now.However,reading and reviewing reveal that some problems remain to be solved,such as copying former local records,improper setup of certain chapter heads,and inaccurate recording.Therefore,looking for and making up the omitted information in comparison with former records,correcting mistakes,recording new changes and updating terminologies in natural sciences should be implemented in future compilation of the nature category,so as to record natural environment comprehensively and systematically.Moreover,fruits of scientific research should be valued,too,to achieve the combination of the nature category and the humanities,improve the readability of records in the category and draw more professionals to the work of local records compilation.
