乾隆《贵州通志》的价值与局限

The Values and Limitations of the Qianlong Guizhou Tongzhi(乾隆《贵州通志》)

乾隆《贵州通志》一百馀万字,是明清《贵州通志》中分量最重的一部。这部方志是记载贵州省在康熙、雍正两朝对贵州省行政建置调整完善后的一部通志,是我国古代贵州省唯一一部较完整、较全面记录贵州历史文献的《贵州通志》。由于乾隆《贵州通志》所收集的资料丰富、所辖疆域广泛,载录史事较此前志书为多,故史料价值、学术价值很大。但是,限于当时的具体条件,志书并非尽善尽美,也有部分缺失存在。

With more than one million words,the Qianlong Guizhou Tongzhi is the most valuable works during the Ming and Qing dynasties in Guizhou Tongzhi.It is the only one of its kind in ancient China,with a complete and comprehensive record of the history of Guizhou.Because of the richness of the information collected in the Qianlong Guizhou Tongzhi,the extensive territory it covers,and the fact that it contains more historical events than any of the previous zhiji books,it is of great historical and academic value.However,due to the specific conditions of the time,the book was not perfect,and some of its shortcomings are existed.
