《永乐大典》所收方志的特点和价值——以徽州方志为考察中心

On the Characteristics and Value of the Local Records Collected in Yongledadian:Taking the Huizhou Local Records as an Example

《永乐大典》虽然仅存残本八百余卷,但它收录的方志具有数量多、版本早、种类全、涉及地区范围广等特点,不仅保存了丰富的资料,具有补充史料的价值,还具有校勘、辑佚等文献学价值。然而《永乐大典》收录的方志亦存在著录文献名不严谨的现象,存在同书异名或异书同名的现象,使用时应加以注意。

Although there only remain more than 800 volumes,Yongledadian still has varieties of local records which have their own characteristics,for example various types are concerned about more extensive areas and their editions are comparatively complete and earlier.These local records preserve abundant data,which can not only be supplementary materials,but also for the collation or reference of other books.However,the document names of these records are not unified,that is,one book has two names or different books have the same name,which must be paid attention to when these local chronicles are referred to.
