清代《金鱼饲育法》作者考

Exploration on the Author of Goldfish Feeding Method in Qing Dynasty

《金鱼饲育法》是明清时产生的少数几部金鱼专著之一,其作者向有宝奎、宝使奎、宝五峰、奎五峰、姚元之、罗振常等各种说法。这些说法都是不正确或不准确的,作者姓名全称应是"索佳宝奎"。索佳宝奎先世为蒙古鄂尔坤部落人,归附满洲后入正红旗。其父索佳额勒布,嘉庆时期曾任户部右侍郎、总管内务府大臣等职。祖父索佳农起,曾官山西廵抚、安徽布政使。曾祖父索佳彰莱,曾任盛京副都统。

Goldfish Feeding Method is one of the few monographs on goldfish written in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.The author of the book has been assumed differently,such as Bao Kui,Bao Shikui,Bao Wufeng,Kui Wufeng,Yao Yuanzhi,Luo Zhenchang and so on,which are inaccurate somehow.The author's full name should be"Sojia Baokui",whose ancestors belonged to the Mongolian Orkhon tribe and entered the Red Banners after they surrendered to Manchuria.His father was Sojia Eleb,who served as junior vice minister of Hubu and the minister in charge of internal affairs during the reign of Emperor Jiaqing.His grandfather Sojia Nongqi once served as governor of Shanxi and the provincial administration commissioner of Anhui.His great-grandfather Sojia Zhanglai once served as vice-general of Shengjing.
