钱坫《说文解字斠诠》成书考论

Research on the Writing Process of Qian Dian's Shuo Wen Jie Zi Jiao Quan

钱坫的《说文解字斠诠》是乾嘉年间出现最早的一部系统校勘、诠释《说文解字》的著作,但目前学界对该书的内容结构、成书经过、版本流传等基本情形缺乏深入研究。从结构内容上看,《斠诠》的结构安排和正文内容均与流行的大徐本不同,反映出作者恢复许本的学术理念。通过对书中所引《说文解字系传》版本及其他学者观点的考察,可知《斠诠》系由钱坫参校众本并吸纳当时相关成果的基础上编纂而成,撰写时间不会早于乾隆五十九年。该书先后历经四次刊刻,间有讹误,以《说文解字诂林》所收初印本为佳,可相参校。

Qian Dian’s Shuo Wen Jie Zi Jiao Quan is the earliest systematic collation and interpretation of the works of Shuo Wen Jie Zi in the period of Qianlong and Jiaqing.However,at present,the academia lacks in-depth research on the basic situation of the book,such as the content and structure,the writing process,and the circulation of various versions.In terms of structure and content,the structure and content of the book is different from the popular Da Xu version,reflecting the author's academic concept of restoring the original piece.Based on the version of Shuo Wen Jie Zi Xi Zhuan and other scholars'opinions quoted in the book,it is known that Shuo Wen Jie Zi Jiao Quan was compiled on the basis of Qian Dian’s referring to various versions and absorbing relevant achievements at that time.It would not be written earlier than the 59th year in Qianlong.After four publications,there were some mistakes in the book.The first printed version included in the series of Shuo Wen Jie Zi Gu Lin is the best one among them,which can be used for some reference.
