论《世代忠贞之瓦寺土司》的史料价值

On the Historical Value of Loyal Wasi Tusi

《世代忠贞之瓦寺土司》是一部自成规模、自成建制的对明英宗正统六年(1441)至“民国”三十四年(1945)间二十五代土司记事吻合度极高的土司宦谱,记事主要集中在朝觐述职、缴纳赋税和征兵戍边三个方面。尽管该宦谱存在重总司而轻分司、“厚今薄古”和“重军事轻其他”记事倾向,但总体上看,它记事慎重,是嘉绒土司中不可多得的历史信息量最大的珍稀史料,既可以透视中央王朝对川西地区治理、嘉绒土司对王朝国家的忠贞与具体义务,又可以解决长期以来嘉绒土司乃至康藏史研究史料分散、使用层次缺乏和研究碎片化等问题。

Loyal Wasi Tusi is a large-scale and systematic record for Wasi Tusi of its 25 generations from the sixth year of Emperor Yingzong in Ming Dynasty(1441)to the thirty fourth year of the Republic of China(1945).The record mainly focuses on three aspects:official work report,tax payment and military conscription.Although the book has a tendency to prioritize the general department over the sub departments,to prioritize the present over the past,and to prioritize military over other matters,overall,it is a cautious and precious historical material with the largest amount of historical information about Jiarong Tusi.It can not only provide insights into the central governance in western Sichuan,the loyalty and specific obligations of Jiarong Tusi to the emperor and the country,but also solve the problems of scattered historical materials and lack of analysis in the study of Jiarong Tusi and even Kangzang history.
