关于志鉴编修的若干思考

Some Thoughts on the Compilation of Local Records and Yearbook

第二轮修志工作开展以来,方志界出现"方志年鉴化"、"年鉴方志化"和"志鉴一体化"的修志观念。其原因是由于对地方志书和地方综合年鉴的性质、特征未加区别;或在志鉴编纂中存在不正确的编纂态度和方法,也是对《地方志工作条例》精神实质的误解。地方综合年鉴为地方志书提供资料是有限度的和有选择的,并且绝不是唯一的,更不存在相互替代的关系。第二轮修志中一些有识之士为提高志书质量和克服"方志年鉴化"进行了有益探索,具有一定的参考价值。

Since the start of the second-round compilation of local records,tendencies of 'local records turning into yearbooks','yearbooks turning into local records',and 'integration of local records and yearbooks' have been circulating among the local records compilers’ circle. The reasons for this lie in either the lack of differentiation of the nature and features of local records and comprehensive local yearbooks,or incorrect compiling attitudes or methods in the course of local records compilation which are misunderstandings of the essence of 'The Local Records Work Regulations'. Comprehensive local yearbooks supply limited and selective materials for local records. They are definitely not the sole source of materials for local records,and a mutually replaceable relationship does not exist between the two. During the second-round compilation,a few insightful individuals have made useful explorations in uplifting the quality of local records and overcoming the tendency of 'local records turning into yearbooks'. These attempts have certain reference values for us.
