嘉庆《四川通志·西域志》考论

An Examination of the Records of the Western Regions of Sichuan General Records Compiled During the Reign of Jiaqing

嘉庆《四川通志·西域志》是清代西藏方志中所载西藏地情内容最多者。经笔者考证,该志实际编纂者为汪仲洋,其广泛参考官修通史通志类著作,大量引用松筠《西招图略》等私人涉藏诗文作品,并在编纂门类方面有所创新。虽存在信息滞后、内容错漏及引用不当等问题,但该志较为全面地记录了雍正末期至嘉庆初期西藏的历史发展与地情变化,对之后西藏方志编纂具有重要的借鉴作用。

The Records of the Western Regions of Sichuan General Records compiled in the reign of Emperor Jiaqing carries the most information of Tibet among Qing Dynasty local records about Tibet.According to my research,the actual compiler of the Records of the Western Regions was Wang Zhongyang,who extensively consulted officially compiled general histories and records,and quoted a large number materials from other people s poems and articles about Tibet such as Song Jun's An Illustrated Summary of the Management of Xizang(Xizhao Tulue),with innovations in the categorization of compiled materials.Despite such flaws as lag of information,mistakes and omissions in content,and inappropriate citations,Records of the Western Regions recorded rather comprehensively the historical development and the changing local situations from the ending years of Yongzheng to the early years of Jiaqing,and served as an important source of reference for the compilation of Tibetan local records in later times.
