论今存唐前《南方异物志》实为《南州异物志》

On Existing Record of Rarities in the South of Pre-Tang Dynasty Should Actually Be Record of Rarities in Nanzhou

通过对《齐民要术》及《艺文类聚》等类书中所征引且标记出处为《南方异物志》条目的考证,发现这些引文实际上源出三国时期吴万震所作的《南州异物志》。出现这种鲁鱼之讹的原因在于类书以及具有类书特色的《齐民要术》在编制时具有的承嗣性,这种讹误是承嗣自前代著作的误写。先唐文献中所征引的《南方异物志》实际上是《南州异物志》,史上不存在一部所谓“撰人不详,当为南朝或隋代所作”的《南方异物志》。

Through the textual research on the quotations in the classical books Qimin Yaoshu and Yiwen Leiju , which are marked as the entries of Record of Rarities in the South , this article finds that these quotations actually originated from Record of Rarities in Nanzhou by WU Wanzhen during the Three Kingdoms Period. The reason for this kind of errors lies in such book and the similar books of Qimin Yaoshu were compiled with the characteristics of inheritance, and this kind of corruption was the miswriting of inheritance from previous works. The Record of Rarities in the South quoted in the pre-Tang documents we see today is actually Record of Rarities in Nanzhou , and there does not exists such a Record of Rarities in the South in history that has been labeled as "The author is unknown, but it was written in the Southern Dynasty or Sui Dynasty".
