新见清人佚稿《驱病集》述略

A Study on the Manuscript of Jiao Fengxiang's Collection of Preventing Illness

徐州方志及后编江苏艺文志等志书,皆著录有清代焦凤翔《驱病集》,但未详存佚,难窥其貌,新发现《驱病集》手稿,可据补。手稿为地方文献轶事辑录,涉及大量的农民战争、朝野见闻、鬼狐故事、古迹考据、山川游历、地方灾异及各地风俗等等,思想内容积极健康,颇多可发掘者。

Jiao Fengxiang＇s Collection of Preventing Illness, which can be seen in the local annals of Xuzhou and literature records of Jiangsu province, has been lost for a long time. The newly found manuscript is a collection of local anecdotes, and contains peasant uprisings, political gosssips, ghost stories, historic sites, travelogues, calamities and unusual phenomena, customs of different regions. In the manuscript the author conveys a sound and positive idea, so the book is of considerable academic values.
