河北宽城满族章氏宗谱探秘

Exploring the Genealogy of the Manchu Zhang Clan in Kuancheng,Hebei

家谱是中国特有的文化遗产,与国史、方志一起被称为中华民族三大历史文献。它的最大价值在于以民间视角来记录家族的世系、婚娶乃至家族史事,与国史、方志相比,这些民间存藏的史料具加具象和微观,具有极高的正史、证史和补史价值。我们以满文为研究工具,以官修史、地方志等相关资料为印证,通过对宽城满族自治县章(章佳)氏家族存藏的“满文老谱”和“同治汉文新谱”的对比研究,揭开了该家族不为人知的一些神秘面纱,讲好一个家族的故事,讲好千千万万个家族的故事就是“讲好中国的故事”,并助力了地方志研究,增厚了承德作为国家首批历史文化名城的文化底蕴。

Genealogy is a unique Chinese cultural heritage,and together with national history and local chronicles,it is known as one of the three major historical documents of the Chinese nation.Its greatest value is to record the family lineage,marriage and even family history from a folk perspective.Compared with the national histories and local chronicles,these folk historical materials are more concrete and microscopic,and have a high value of correcting,proving and supplementing history.We have taken the Manchu language as a research tool,offi cial history,local records and other relevant information as evidence,through the comparative study of the“Manchu Old Genealogy”and“Tongzhi Chinese New Genealogy”reserved in Zhang(Zhang Jia)family of Kuancheng Manchu Autonomous County,unveiled this mysterious family.Telling the story of a family,telling the story of millions of families is to“tell the story of China”,to help the study of local history,and to thicken the cultural heritage of Chengde as one of the fi rst group of national historical and cultural city.
