关于《浙江省历史地图集》的编绘

On the Compiling of The Collection of Historical Maps of Zhejiang Province

编绘《浙江省历史地图集》,是一项难度很大的工程。我国历史上最早的历史地图是晋朝的《禹贡地域图》。而有计划地编绘历史地图集当推清末民初杨守敬与熊会贞的《历代舆地图》。20世纪七八十年代,谭其骧主编的《中国历史地图集》问世,产生了极大反响,意义重大。之后又有西安、北京、山西等地区的历史地图集问世。《浙江省历史地图集》的编绘当吸取这些历史地图集的编撰经验和教训,坚持“言必有据”的原则。

The compilation of The Collection of Historical Maps of Zhejiang Province is a hard project. The earliest historical map in China is the Yugong diyu tu of the Jin Dynasty. However, Yang Shoujing and Xiong Huizhen＇s Lidai diyu tu of the late Qing Dynasty and Early Republic Period is recognized as the beginning of the compilation of historical maps in a planned way. In the 1980s, The Collection of Historical Maps of China, edited by Tan Qixiang, was published, which evoked much attention and exerted significant influence. Later, some other collections of hhistorical maps of Xian, Beijing and Shanxi were published. Therefore, the compiling of The Collection of Historical Maps of Zhejiang Province should take into account the experiences from them, adhering to the principle of ＂speaking on facts＂.
