洪武《平阳志》作者考

A Study on the Author of Hongwu Pingyang Gazetteer

洪武《平阳志》是现存最早的山西方志刻本,有着较高的文献价值。该志被发现时已是残书,全书并无编纂者信息。《山西地方志综录》《山西文献总目提要》中认为洪武《平阳志》作者是张昌。经考证,明洪武年间平阳府至少修有两部府志,一为现存洪武《平阳志》,另一部为张昌所修《平阳郡图志》,且张昌《平阳郡图志》成书于洪武《平阳志》之后。洪武《平阳志》作者不是张昌,应为序中所载之“二贤守”。

The Hongwu"Pingyang Gazetteer"is the earliest extant engraved local gazetteer of Shanxi,possessing a high literary value.When the gazetteer was discovered,it was already incomplete,and there is no information about its compiler.According to the"Comprehensive Records of Shanxi Local Gazetteers"and the"Abstract of Shanxi Literature Catalog,"the author of the Hongwu"Pingyang Gazetteer"is identified as Zhang Chang.However,upon further examination,it is clear that during the Ming Hongwu era,Pingyang Prefecture had at least two official gazteers.One is the extant Hongwu"Pingyang Gazetteer,"and the other is the"Pingyang County Illustrated Gazetteer"compiled by Zhang Chang,which was completed after the Hongwu"Pingyang Gazetteer."Therefore,the author of the Hongwu"Pingyang Gazetteer"is not Zhang Chang but rather the"Two Virtuous Governors"mentioned in its preface.
