嘉靖《休宁县志》初探

A Study of Xiuning Xianzhi Compiled in Jiajing Era

嘉靖《休宁县志》纂修于嘉靖二十六年(1547),首倡其事者为时任休宁知县宋国华,具体纂修者为休宁县儒学的两位训导、六位生员。该志在继承正德末年黄彦主修的十卷本新志的基础上,对弘治《休宁志》进行了大刀阔斧的删削合并、因时制宜的调整增补。嘉靖《休宁县志》基本的体例内容被后世万历、康熙两部《休宁县志》所继承,在明清五部《休宁县志》中起到承上启下的作用。嘉靖《休宁县志》保存了不少珍贵史料,对于我们研究明代徽州社会史、经济史具有重要的价值。

Xiuning Xianzhi was compiled in the 26th year of Jiajing era(1547).Song Guohua,the county magistrate,first proposed compiling local chronicles.Two instructors and six students of the county school were specifically responsible for compiling.Xiuning Xianzhi inherited the basic contents of the ten-volume local chronicles that Huang Yan revised at the end of Zhengde,and made drastic cuts and additions to Xiuning Zhi compiled in Hongzhi era.Basic style and main content of Xiuning Xianzhi in Jiajing Era were inherited by the two editions of Xiuning Xianzhi in Wanli and Kangxi eras,and played a connecting role in the five editions of Xiuning Xianzhi of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.This local chronicle preserves many rare historical materials.It is of great value for us to study the social and economic history of Huizhou in the Ming Dynasty.
