古文书学视野下太行山文书的定位、特点和价值

The Position,Characteristics and Value of the Literatures of the Taihang Mountains

太行山文书入藏邯郸学院以后,经过近一年时间的整理、宣传、研究以及一系列学术活动,已经揭开神秘面纱走入学术殿堂和公众视野。它是四大考古新材料之后、内阁大库档案之外,中国地方档案和民间文献又一大宗新文献材料,是近代以来中国新文献领域中明清民国时期地方档案和民间文献文书群的家族新丁。太行山文书的时代特点是跨越古代、近代与现当代三大历史时期;地域特点是来源横兼晋冀鲁豫多省,并有少量非太行山地区的文献;文体特点是古代部分与其他大宗档案文献大体类同,近现代部分基本涵盖了白话文时代的各种形式;内容特点主要表现在个体文献、教育文献、村落文献、社队文献和机关文献多个方面。太行山文书的价值,一是提供了一些其他档案文献所不见或少见的珍稀文书种类;二是提供了大批反映基层社会历史面貌和社会变迁生动具体的第一手资料;三是提供了地方学院开展跨区收藏、整理、研究地方文献,建设地方学术中心的物质基础和难得机缘。

The literatures of the Taihang Mountains are now exposed to the public after they were sent into the library of Handan College a year ago,which belong to one of the four great discoveries of literatures.They cover ancient,modern and contemporary literatures from Shanxi,Hebei,Shandong and Henan provinces. The contents are about persons,education,village,brigade,administrative organs. These literatures are rarely seen in the other literatures. And they reflect what the society was like in different periods as well as social changes at the grass- root level. In addition,they may provide a solid basis and opportunity for the cross- province collection,sorting out and researches of local literatures,the construction of academic center for local studies and so on.
