“江陵焚书”与《金楼子》几个问题的研究

Research on Books Burnt Down in Jiangling and Some Problems About Jin Lou Zi

历代史籍对梁元帝萧绎"江陵焚书"卷数的记载存在歧异,通过比较分析相关史料,认为"江陵焚书"十四万卷为确切之数。以此伸展分析,《梁书》、《南史》、《隋书》及《志》不载和散见《金楼子》是因为在唐史馆臣在编修贞观诸史时未见《金楼子》一书。《金楼子》复出的时间约在唐中、晚时期(约八至九世纪),两宋时期已入秘府收藏。探讨"江陵焚书"的卷数,还有助于明晰当代历史文献学对这一图书厄难史实的歧异。

There are discrepancies in the historical records on the exact number of volumes of books set on fire by Emperor Xiao Yi in the Jiangling siege. Based on the comparative analysis of relative historical materials, the author decides it can be validated that 140 000 volumes of books had been burnt. Furthermore, the reason of the complete edition of Jin Lou Zi can not be found in Chronics of Liang Dynasty, History of Southern Dynasties, Chronics of Sui, is that the official historians of Tang Dynasty did not discover the Jin Lou Zi while they were compiling the historical records of the Zhengguan period. Jin Lou Zi was rediscovered during the middle and late Tang Dynasty period （between 8 - 9 AD）, and it had been put in the collections of the imperial library ＆ archives during the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties. Moreover, the discussion on the volumes of the books destroyed in Jiangling would help to clarify the discrepancies in the contemporary historical document studies on this historical fact of the book disaster.
