晚清私修志书《石窟一徵》述评

Narrative Comments on Privately Compiled Local Records Shi Ku Yi Zheng of Late Qing Dynasty

《石窟一徵》是一部完成于成丰年间的私修志书，主要记述清代广东嘉应州镇平县（今梅州市蕉岭县）历史沿革、民众生计、社会风俗、方言等方面的内容。其中以社会日常生活方面的内容居多，因而具有较高的史学价值，受到时人的好评。随着晚清民国以来客家意识在广东嘉应地区的兴起以及客家研究的开展，该著开始被认为是客家文化研究的重要文本，特别是书中所记述的文化事象，常常被研究者视为独具特色的客家文化，但笔者以为这是以后起之观念和价值去解读该著，这一做法需要谨慎。

Shi Ku Yi Zheng is a privately compiled local records completed during the reign of Emperor Xianfeng,which records mainly contents such as the historical evolution,people’s livelihood,social customs,and dialects of Zhengping County in Jiaying Prefecture of Guangdong in Qing Dynasty (now Jiaoling County of Meizhou City).Among which contents related to routine social life took the main part,and thus received good comments from contemporary readers due to its high historical value.Along with the rise of Hakka consciousness in the Jiaying region of Guangdong since late Qing Dynasty and the Republican Period,and along with the development of Hokka research,this book started to be thought of as important texts in Hakka cultural research.The cultural events recorded in the book in particular,are often seen as Hokka culture with unique characters by researcher,but the author takes the view that this is to interpret the book using concepts and values of later generations and we need to be cautious in doing so.
