明清以来之姓氏与姓氏书

Surname and Surname Book since Ming and Qing Dynasties

明清姓氏书继承唐宋之格局分为二种:一是继《姓解》而发展为《姓觿》的纯粹姓氏书,一是承《名贤氏族言行类稿》而扩充实为《万姓统谱》的姓氏与名人传记合一之书。《续通志.氏族略》和《清通志.氏族略》专门著录、研究辽金元和满清姓氏,为现代编纂中华多民族姓氏词典奠定了基础。清代张澍是继邓名世之后对姓氏考证最为用功的学者,这种求是学风一直影响到现当代姓氏词典编纂者。上世纪八十年代以来,相继出现过数十种大小不同的姓氏词典,就姓氏蒐辑之多和编例之善而言,以《中华姓氏大辞典》和《中国姓氏大辞典》为最。姓氏在中国有数千年历史,它经历过无数的激荡、变异和融合,既蕴含丰富,又紊乱凌杂,促使我们必须从考古学、语言学、人类学、地理学、文化学各方面深入的分析与综合的研究。
