宋代谱学创新

The innovative development of Chinese genealogy in Song Dynasty

在中国谱学发展史上,宋代处于重要变革、转型时期。与魏晋南北朝隋唐时期的谱学比较,宋代呈现了官修公谱废绝和私修家谱兴盛的趋势,在编修宗旨、编修形式、谱图之法、家谱内容、续修时间等诸方面均发生明显变化,从而奠定了后世修谱基本格局,开创了中国谱学发展新阶段。

Song Dynasty is an important period of change and transformation in the history of Chinese genealogy. Comparing to the previous eras, i.e., the period from the Southern and Northern Dynasties to Sui and Tang Dynasties, prominent changes were found taken place with the purpose, form, methodology, content and time of additional compilation in Song Dynasty, when the official editions were abandoned or phased out, and the private editions gradually flourished. Such changes had formed the fundamental pattern of Chinese genealogy compilation thereafter, and had charted a new course for the development of Chinese genealogy.
