民间庄头家谱的史料价值探析

An Analysis of the Historical Value of Folk Zhuangtou Family Tree

庄头家谱是清代统治者谋求对旗属庄园内人员的有效管理,保证其充足劳动力需要,在乾隆年间要求各庄庄头依据相应的准则自行修订的家谱。因为对庄头家族的来源、支脉及人员的关系都进行了详细的记载,所以其具有独特的史料价值。通过对现存的民间庄头家谱进行梳理,其史料价值体现在以下五方面:庄头家谱为庄头嫡系子孙承袭职位提供了佐证文本、为庄头因故生缺择员顶补提供了执行依据、为探究旗地管理状况提供了参照文书、为丁册校对提供了比对辅证以及为子孙后代寻祖聚支提供了史料基础。

Zhuangtou family tree is a family tree that the rulers of the Qing Dynasty sought to effectively manage the personnel in the banner manor and ensure their sufficient labor needs.During the Qianlong pe-riod,they required each Zhuangtou to revise their own family trees according to the corresponding criteria.Like the normal family tree,Zhuangtou family tree has detailed records of the origin,branches and personnel of the family,but it also has its unique historical value.By sorting out the existing folk Zhuangtou family trees,it can be excavated that Zhuangtou family tree provides a supporting text for the descendants of Zhuangtou's descendants to inherit their positions,an implementation basis for Zhuangtou's lack of can-didates due to reasons,a reference document for exploring the management status of the banner,a compara-tive evidence for proofreading,and a historical basis for future generations to find ancestors and gather branches.
