宋元时期陶瓷文献分类方法探讨

An Analysis of Classification Method of Ceramics Literature in the Period of Song and Yuan Dynasties

受诸多因素影响,我国古代科技类文献与经部、史部、集部等文献相比较少;作为古代手工技艺之一的陶瓷制作,相关论述更是凤毛麟角。文章采用文献调查法,探索古代科技类文献稀少的原因;建构符合宋元陶瓷文献状况的分类方法,将其划分成十类:六经类、小学类、历史类、地理类、政书类、目录类、谱录类、杂家类、类书类和诗文集类。

Due to many reasons,ancient Chinese works on science and technology are rare when compared to the Confucian classics, history, literature and philosophy. As an artisan craft, the description on ceramic production is rarer. Through survey of historical materials, the authors summarize the reasons for the scarcity of science and technology books, including ceramics literature, in ancient China. Moreover, the authors take the ceramics literature in Song and Yuan Dynasties as an example and discuss their distribution in the ancient Chinese bibliographic classification system. In regard to the actual situation of ceramics literature, the authors attempt to assign the writings to 10 different categories, namely the Six Confucian Classics, philology, history, geography, public administration and the economy, bibliography, special interests, miscellaneous, encyclopedias and collections of poems.
