关于地方志文体的探究

Explorations on the Styles of Local Records

地方志的文体,一致公认和强调的是语体文、记述体。但地方志在内容上是百科全书,在编纂上使用多种体裁,具有多个属性与多种功能,这些特性决定了志书仅用记述文体是无法完成的。新编两轮志书,是记述文体、议论文体、说明文体、文学体、应用文体等的综合运用。虽然记述文体是最主要的文体,但其他文体也有广泛的运用,并且是不可缺少的。因此,应该突破地方志记述体的束缚,充分认识各种文体在志书中的地位与作用,明确地方志是以记述文体为主、多种文体综合运用。

When it comes to the styles of local records,the modern Chinese style and the recording style have been commonly acknowledged and stressed. But local records are basically encyclopedic in terms of contents,using various forms in terms of compilation,and having multiple features and functions. These characteristics determine that local records are impossible to finish with only the recording style. The two rounds of newly compiled local records comprehensively use various styles such as the recording style,the commentary style,the expository style,the literature style,and the practical writing styles. Although the recording style is the main style, other styles are extensively used and considered irreplaceable. Therefore,the restrictions on local records recording styles should be lifted. The positions and roles of various styles in local records should be appropriately understood.
