重大事件在村志中的记载现状及理论思考——基于上海5区10部村志的考察

The Status Quo of Recording and Theoretical Consideration of Major Events in Village Chronicles:Based on the textual research of ten village chronicles of five districts of Shanghai

村志是一村的百科全书,记载重大事件是其职责所在。1950年代的土地改革运动是新中国成立后第一件大事,也是改变中国政治格局和走向的重大事件,在村志中理应得到充分反映。5区10部村志实际记载都极其简单,致使重大内容遗漏,不能反映一村的主要事件和历史进程,必然会导致村志史料价值降低,存史功能弱化。对村志的编撰要加强指导。

Village chronicle is an encyclopedia of a village,bearing the great responsibility of recording the major events of the village. The land reform movement in the 1950 s was the first major event since the founding of the People’s Republic of China. As a crucial event,it changed the political pattern and course of China,deserving a detailed mention in village chronicles. The actual records of the ten village chronicles of five districts are extremely sketchy with some of the important contents left out,failing to faithfully represent the major events and historical process of the villages. This inevitably decreases of the value of the village chronicles and weakens the function of recording history. Guidance to the compilation of village chronicles should be strengthened.
