中古物产专志的产生与流变

The Emergence and Evolution of Products Annals in Middle Age

中国早期物产信息散见于各类文献,未出现专志。汉唐间“异物志”勃兴,成为彼时物产专志的主要撰述形式,具有地域明确、内容专门、记述细致、追求科学精神、命名方式统一等特点,这类著作多记南方边地特产,既拓展了人们的眼界,也适应了汉唐间知识学科和著述门类不断细化的趋势。唐后物产专志编撰形式走向多样化,或绍继“异物志”的写作精神形成相关地理杂记;或冲破地域局限流向全国,形成以“物产志”命名的专志;或为物产谱录,完成了以“地”为中心到以“物”为中心的置换。宋后地方志中的物产记述常以“条目”“注释”结合的方式撰写,承载着物产专志的功能。

In early time the information of products is scattered in kinds of literature.From Han to Tang dynasty,Yiwuzhi flourished and became the main writing form of products annals in middle ages,with the characteristics of regional concentration,content specialization,concrete description,scientific style and uni-fied naming.They are first found in the southern frontier,which is not only satisfied the pursuit of knowl-edge to people at that time,but also the natural development of discipline refinement after the maturity of know ledge accumulation.Some geographical notes which inheriting the writing object and spirit of Yiwuzhi are new kinds of way to record products.Past view that Yiwuzhi was diversified because of lose its function to spread know leage and people lose interest to special products after Tang Dynasty is not correct.A branch breaks through the regional limitation and flow to the whole country.Another branch is some specialization which mainly named after Wuchanzhi;Some products form spectra,completing the replacement from land as the center to object as the center.Finally,Wuchanzhi in local chronicles are often written in the form of en-tries and notes,which become the most important form of products annals.
