论民国文献的界定

The Definition of Literature of the Republic of China

民国文献在历史分期上十分清晰,但其归类分歧很大。从逻辑上看,古籍文献与现代文献的区别主要在于内容用文言抑或白话;装帧方式为传统模式抑或现代样式。通过对晚清至1949年平装本、线装本、稿本、抄本、平装本装帧样式的外文、域外民国汉籍的5个方面的比较,说明其不同属性,认为民国文献的主要界定依据是:1时间为民国元年至民国38年(1912年-1949年);2印刷方式为雕版或活版印刷,表达方式(即语言)是文言或白话,装帧方式系传统线装或"西装"、"洋装"等平装本样式。

The literature of the Republic of China is very clear on the historical stage, but its classification differs widely. From a logical point of view, the difference between ancient and modern literatures lies in the content with classical or modern Chinese, and in traditional or modern binding style. By the comparing literatures from late Qing dynasty to 1949 in editions of paperback binding, thread-bound, script, transcripts, foreign languages in paperback binding, overseas Chinese literature during period of Republic of China, to explain the different attributes, that is, the defining of literature of the republic of China is mainly based on ： firstly, timeframe, from the first year to 38 years of the Republic of China （ 1912 - 1949 ）. Secondly, the content and form, that is, in woodblock printing or typography printing; expression language is classical or modern Chinese; hinding styles are traditional thread-bound, or overseas paperback style, etc.
