编纂自然实体志的继承和创新——以《洞庭湖志》为例

Inheritance and Innovation in the Compilation of Geographical Entity Records-Case Study of Dongting Lake Records

新方志中的自然实体志从继承关系上来源于旧志的山水志。旧志山水志主人文,新方志自然实体志重自然,由于时代不同,其定性定位、记述对象的重点和范围均不相同。可以看成是新方志自然实体志在编修过程中的探索和创新,在整体设计、篇目设置和内容安排上有目标地减少旧志中有关人文的容量,以符合新编志书的功能定位。

In terms of inheritance,the geographical entity records in new local records style originated from records on mountains and rivers in old local records style.Records on mountains and rivers in old styleplacemore emphasis on humanities,whereas geographical entity records in new style place moreemphasis on natural elements.Due to difference in years,the nature of the new style,its positioning,emphasis and the scope of recording methods all differ.This can be seen as exploration and innovation in compiling the new style with an aim of reducing the volume of humanities recordings in the itsoverall design,chapter headings settings,and contents arrangement,so as to match the functional positioning of newly-compiled local records.
