变通与启下——嘉庆《邹平县志》述评

Flexibility and Inspiration-Narrative Comments on Jiaqing Zouping County Records

嘉庆《邹平县志》是在地方官吏倡导下,由地方官吏和士绅共同完成的一部地方志佳作。是志一改先前志书体例,采用纪传体,通过增加、补充、调整、订正和删除等方式处理前志已记述的内容,具有体例允当、内容旁征博引和以事系人的特点。是志虽然存在收录人物事迹不详和内容失实等不足之处,但其体例为此后的道光志和民国志承袭,其内容也为道光志和民国志抄录。在清代邹平地方志修纂历程中,嘉庆《邹平县志》起到变通与启下作用,而其《总纪》的设置和《艺文考》的著录方式更是对当今修志具有参考价值。
