小村庄与大历史——《九溪村志》序

Small Village and Macro History——Preface to“Jiuxi Village Records”

村落鲜见入志,是因其地理空间太小,所载荷的历史信息有限。然而,村落作为社会有机体的微观部分,是社会构成最重要的基础单元和基层组织,自有其重要的研究价值。村志作为村庄资源信息的载体,承载了许多正史或府州县志无法记录或者遗漏的信息,正是小村庄与大历史衔接的纽带。

Villages are rarely aspired because their geographical space is too small and the historical information of Lotus is limited.However,as the micro-part of social organism,village is the most important basic unit and basic organization of social composition,and has its own important research value.As the carrier of village resources information,village chronicles carry many information that can not be recorded or omitted by official history or prefectural and county chronicles,which is the link between small villages and large history.
