康熙、乾隆《安岳县志》述论

Narrative Comments on the Kangxi and Qianlong Anyue County Records

安岳县为连接川东、川西、重庆、成都的战略要地。康熙《安岳县志》为安岳县目前保存完整的最早方志,成于清初安岳县草创时期,资料图书匮乏,搜集不易,成书后历经四任县令始得刊刻,历经艰难,体例奇特,传世本甚少,且最大程度保存了明代所修《安岳县志》残本,具有资料原始性和珍稀性的特点。乾隆《安岳县志》接康熙志而修,具有体例完备、资料丰富、考订精审等特点,也较为稀见。两志在现存明清方志中较有代表性,今人论述多有不准确之处,需要纠正。

Anyue County is an area of strategic importance linking the eastern and western part of Sichuan,Chongqing,and Chengdu.Kangxi Anyue County Records is the earliest local records of Anyue County currently well-preserved.It was compiled during early Qing Dynasty when Anyue County was first established.Due to lack of reference books and materials,and difficulty with materials collection,it was carved and published only after four consecutive county magistrates.The book has a unique style and very few remaining copies.It preserves the incomplete copy of Ming Dynasty Anyue County Records to the greatest extent,and is special because of the originality and rarity of its reference materials.Qianlong Anyue County Records was compiled after the Kangxi edition,and is now also rarely seen.Its key features include complete style,rich reference materials,and high-quality research and compilation.These two books are fairly representative among existing Ming and Qing Dynasty local records.Contemporary comments about the two books are in many places inaccurate and in need of correction.
