读《王南村年谱》小识

Reading the Chronicle of Wang Nancun

《王南村年谱》系天津古籍出版社2017年12月出版,由天津学者宋健完成。查阅该书相关涉及王煐同赵执信交游的部分史料,其诸多考证着实令读者眼前一亮,也为研究者提供了较为详尽的史料,实为壮举。当然,该书也有个别失考之处,较为遗憾。王煐一生交游颇广,《王南村年谱》对王煐诗文中涉及的大多数友人作了考证,这对解读王氏诗文大有裨益,是一部不可多得的好书。

The Chronicle of Wang Nancun was published by Tianjin Ancient Books Publishing House in December 2017 and completed by Song Jian, a scholar from Tianjin. Looking up some historical materials related to Wang Ying's friendship with Zhao Zhishen in this book, many textual researches have really made the reader's eyes bright, and provided more detailed historical materials for researchers, which is indeed a feat. Of course, there are also some failures in this book, which is a pity. Wang Ying has made extensive contacts in his life. The Chronicle of Wang Nancun has textually studied most of his friends involved in his poems and essays, which is of great benefit to the interpretation of Wang's poems and essays and so is a rarely good book.
