A Textual Research of Three Local Records in Southwest China Cited in Notes on Book of Waterways

《水经注》征引了许多前代地记,叙西南地理主要征引的地记有《汉中记》《巴蜀志》《益州记》等。这三种成书于晋宋时期的古代地记,是西南地区最早的地方志书。但由于年代久远,这些地记早已亡佚,其内容只散见于类书、杂史、前人注释等文献著作中。本文主要对此三种西南地记进行探究,分别对其作者情况、亡佚时代以及文史价值等进行辑考、论析。

In Notes on Book of Waterways, many records of previous generations were cited. Those concerned with the geography of Southwest China include Notes on Hanzhong, A Record of Ba and Shu, and Notes on Yizhou, etc. These three books, the earliest local records in the Southwest, came into being during the period of Jin and Song dynasties.

The writer of this article attempts to explore the three records, making a textual research of their authors, the time of their losing and the value in literary history.
