胡适与《直隶河渠书》案

Hu Shi and the Controversy over The Rivers and Canals in Zhili Province

嘉庆年间引发的《直隶河渠书》案可以视为《水经注》案的另一“战场”,许多学者曾参与此案。胡适对此案用力甚勤,他理清《直隶河渠书》的编纂过程,明确此书的著作权归属,对于平息此案涉及的著作权之争贡献较大;通过考证,发现《畿辅安澜志》所引《水经注》与赵、戴二人校勘成果之不同,为解决公案的核心问题——《畿辅安澜志》是否攘窃《直隶河渠书》提供了新的见解;对《直隶河渠书》稿的整理研究,注明现存各册各卷的稿本情况,纠正以往学者的错误,为研究书稿扫清障碍。当然,胡适的研究亦有其不足,有待作进一步探讨。

The controversy over The Rivers and Canals in Zhili Province triggered during the reign of Emperor Jiaqing can be seen as another“battleground”for the controversy over the Notes on Book of Waterways(Shuijing Zhu),in which many scholars were involved.Hu Shi made great efforts on the controversy,clarifying the compilation process of The Rivers and Canals in Zhili Province and ascertaining the true authorship,and contributed much to the settlement of the copyright dispute.He conducted textual research and discovered that the Notes on Book of Waterways quoted in Records of Flood Control in the Capital Area was different from the emendations of Zhao Yiqing and Dai Zhen,providing a new insight into the settlement of the core issue of whether Records of Flood Control in the Capital Area had plagiarized The Rivers and Canals in Zhili Province.He sorted out and studied the manuscripts of The Rivers and Canals in Zhili Province,noted the details about all its volumes and corrected mistakes by former scholars,removing obstacles for future research.Hu Shi s research was definitely not free from deficiencies,which calls for further discussion.
