乾隆朝诏开续文献通考馆的背景

On Backgrounds of Establishment of XuWenXianTongKaoGuan in Qianlong Reign

乾隆时期稳定的社会局面使高宗皇帝得以继承“盛世修典”的传统,开展大规模的纂修书史活动,清代史馆渐次完善的制度与多样化的格局是保障这些活动顺利进行的制度基础。由于清朝政府进一步总结典章制度的需要,朝野上下越来越重视以“三通”为代表的典志体通史的价值,而典志体通史自身的发展也呼唤着能反映时代需要的新作的出现,最终乾隆朝先后设立续文献通考馆与三通馆,修成“清六通”,成为中国古代典志体史书的重要组成部分。

The stable social situation in Qianlong reign enabled the Emperor to to develop largescale book compilation activities.The gradually perfect system and diversified pattern of the historical bureau in Qing Dynasty were the institutional basis to ensure the smooth progress of these activities.Due to the need of further summarizing various systems,the government had paid more and more attention to the value of the general history books of decrees and regulations represented by SanTong.The development of general history books of decrees and regulations themselves also called for the emergence of new works that can reflect the needs of the times.Finally,the XuWenXianTongKaoGuan and SanTongGuan were established successively in Qianlong reign.As a result of compilation,the QingLiuTong had become an important part of ancient Chinese general history books of decrees and regulations.
