黄岩学者王棻的谱学理念探析——以馆藏《柔桥王氏宗谱》等稿本为例

An Analysis of Huangyan Scholar Wang Fen's Thought of Genealogy——Based on the Library-collected Manuscript of The Genealogy Book of Family Wang in Rouqiao

杭州图书馆收藏的《柔桥王氏宗谱》等未刊稿本,出于晚清黄岩著名学者王棻之手,因其博览群书、讲明谱学而自成体例,故与民间一般意义的家谱不同。尤其可贵的是,他在对本族旧谱的始祖等世系人物的认定上,不但未沿袭陈说,而是提出一系列的质疑并在另纂新谱中分别加以考证与辨误。这不仅为历史上宗谱纂修活动所鲜见,也为今天如何认识家谱中的世系人物,提供了辨别真伪的范例。

The unpublished manuscripts collected in Hangzhou Library such as The Genealogy Book of Family Wang in Rouqiao were written by Wang Fen,a famous scholar in Huangyan in the late Qing Dynasty.He was well read and had a style of his own in explaining genealogy.Consequently,his genealogy book was different from ordinary family tree among the people.Commendably in particular,he didn't follow but questioned the old genealogy book of his own clan while identifying the first ancestors of his bloodline.In addition,he did textual research and corrected mistakes as he compiled the new genealogy book,which is seldom seen in history and provides us today with a good example of how to discern between the true and the false to identify one's bloodline.
