《〔嘉庆〕内江县志》考论

The Examination and Discussion of Neijiang County Chronicles in Jiaqing Reign

现存内江县旧志共九部,顾文曜、罗文黻《〔嘉庆〕内江县志》五十四卷是嘉庆时所纂三志之仅存者,是为修通志而先修的。据《〔嘉庆〕四川通志》的编订时间及本志内证推知,《〔嘉庆〕内江县志》完成于嘉庆十七年。该志分门设目虽有繁冗零杂、有目无文之弊,但完整保留了嘉庆四年张搢修、嘉庆十二年徐丰续修的两部旧志的内容,特别是其中的大量明代史料,展现了明代内江文化的辉煌,是研究内江、四川的重要文献。

There are a total of nine old chronicles of Neijiang County.Neijiang County Chronicle in Jiaqing Reign by GU Wenyao and LUO Wenfu include fifty-four volumes.It is the only survived version of the three chronicles compiled during the Jiaqing Reign.It actually was prepared initially for the purpose of compiling comprehensive chronicle.Based on the compilation date of the Sichuan Chronicles in Jiaqing Reign and internal evidence in the chronicle,it is inferred that the chronicle was completed in the seventeenth year of the Jiaqing Reign(1812).Although the chronicle has sufferred from redundancies and lack of textual organization in their section headings,it managed to preserve the content of two previous chronicles revised by ZHANG Jin in the fourth year of the Jiaqing(1799)and continued by XU Feng in the twelfth year of the Jiaqing(1807).The chronicle,in particular,contains a significant number of historical materials in Ming Dynasty.They also show the brilliant culture of Neijiang in Ming Dynasty and serve as an important document for studying Neijiang,even the whole province of Sichuan.
