古直师徒纂修梅县地方志述略

A Brief Account of Guzhi and His Disciples Compiling of the Meixian History in the Republic China Period

民国时期的梅县号称韩江重镇,文化发达,增修地方志是当时文化事业的重心,通志局先后成立了13年,前有高才硕学的谢贞盤主事,有一代文豪梁辟村的加盟,后有老成宿望古直主事。古直师徒以桑梓文物荣枯撄其心,勠力同心兴修邑志,历经十余年却未尝修成,竟至自1901年《光绪嘉应州志》以来至1949年的50年,梅县缺典志!这是梅县历史上的一大憾事。

This article discusses the course of compiling Meixian history in the period of Republic. Meixian had already drawn up plans to start editing new chorography since 1930s..Guzhi,a famous scholar, and his disciples had made concerted efforts to compile Meixian＇ s records for decades. However,their efforts led to nothing because of anti- Japanese War and Chinese Civil War.There＇ s no records of the history of Meixian.
