清代笔记、日记中的书家传记史料

Biographical Literature on Calligraphers in Notes and Diaries in Qing Dynasty

笔记、日记是历史文献学研究的重要对象,在史学研究中有着重要的参考价值。目前的学术界,笔记与日记的史料价值已日益受到重视。笔记、日记的内容虽丰富,但亦因系随笔所记而杂、散,有的还是潦草的稿本,直接使用较为不便,因此要想利用好它们,整理的工作又需先行。关于清代笔记、日记中的书家传记类史料,从资料来源而言,可分为"亲历亲闻的传记史料""遗闻轶事类传记史料"与"转录前人的传记史料"三种类型。这些整理出来的资料,内容颇为丰富,其数量远远超过了正史中相关书家传记类史料的记载。研究书法史(尤其是清代书法史)者,必须得重视这些史料的文献价值。

As indispensible part in historical philology, notes and diaries, with the inherent historical value, play an important role in history research. Substantial in contents and miscellaneous in forms, notes and diaries have to be sorted out before put into use. Biographical literature in notes and diaries in Qing dynasty falls into three categories according to origins, namely experiential, anecdotal and reporting. Information skimmed off these notes and diaries is far more substantial than those recorded in official historical documents. It is necessary that calligraphy history researchers put premium on looking into these notes and diaries （especially those engaging in research of calligraphy history in Qing Dynasty）.
