论清初官方满、蒙文文献编纂事业的初步发展

ON THE INITIAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE OFFCIAL COMPILATION OF MAN AND MONGOLIAN DOCUMENT IN EARLY QING DYNASTY

清政权入关前,统治者出于当时政治、军事以及了解周围民族较为先进文化的实际需要,下令编译了有关统治经验、教训和军事方面的汉文、蒙古文文献。由此而产生了最早一批满文文献,进而又以本民族语言文字,甚至以满文、蒙古文、汉文等多种文字编纂出了本朝文献。由此,清代满文、蒙古文等民族文字文献经历了从无到有的历史阶段。

The rulers of Qing Dynasty before its entrance into Shanhai Pass ordered to compile and translate both Chinese and Mongolian documents related to its administrative experiences and historical lessons and militaries due to the practical requirement of knowing the politics, militaries and the comparatively advanced culture of the nationalities living around. As a result, the earliest documents in the Man language came into being and later, documents in Man, Mongolian and Chinese were compiled, too. Therefore, documents in the Man and Mongolian languages experienced the historical period of ＂growing out of nothing＂.
