郝懿行《尔雅义疏》考论

Study on Hao Yixing's Erya Yishu( Annotations on Near Corretness)

清代是雅学的全盛时期,郝懿行的《尔雅义疏》是清代《尔雅》注疏的代表著作之一,是继邵晋涵《尔雅正义》之后的又一雅学巨著,在中国雅学史上占有重要地位。《尔雅义疏》现存足本和删节本两种。《尔雅义疏》在疏证文字、考释名物、阐明体例、校勘经注文字等方面都取得了巨大成绩,其注疏的主要特色为注重目验、因声求义、引证方言俗语等。当然,《尔雅义疏》也存在疏于声音、误引误解古书、蹈袭而未注明等不足之处。

The Qing Dynasty was the heyday of studies on Erya （Near Corretness）, which saw the publication of Hao Yixing＇ s Erya Yishu （Annotations on Near Corretness）, one of the representative works annotating Erya, and another monumental work occupying an important position in the history of studies on Erya （ Erya studies, hereinafter） in China, since the appearance of Erya Zhengyi （ Textual Research of Near Corretness） by Shao Jinhan as well. At present there are two editions of it ： the full - length and the abridged. It has made great achievements in carrying on textual criticism, in differentiating the names and descriptions of utensils, in expounding different styles and collating the previous note to the work, with its main feature of stressing visual observation or inspection, determining the meanings through pronunciation and quoting different dialects and so on. Of course deficiencies as failure to differentiate properly, misquotations from Classics, and copying others without indicating their sources can too be found here and there.
