晚清徽州民众生活及社会变迁——《陶甓公牍》之民俗文化解读

晚清新政时期进行的调查,曾留下一批极具学术价值的史料。其中,徽州知府刘汝骥的《陶甓公牍》,管见所及,是所有言及徽州一府六县民俗中最为系统、详尽的一种文献,对于徽州社会文化史的研究,具有特别重要的史料价值。鉴于以往对晚清徽州社会的研究,一向是'徽州学'研究中的薄弱环节;而且,《陶甓公牍》一书迄今尚未为学界所利用。本文即以该书为基本史料,结合实地考察及新近发现的多种徽州文书,从社会文化史的角度,透视晚清徽州的民众生活及社会变迁。

Investigations conducted in the last years of the Qing dynasty has left a large number of historical sources of the greatest value,of which,in my opinion,the"Tao Pi Gong Du"by Liu Ruji(刘汝骥),the then governor of Huizhou,is the most systematic and comprehensive work on the social customs of the prefecture of Huizhou,and is invaluable for the study of the social and cultural history of Huizhou.In view of the fact that,the study of social history in the late Qing dynasty is a weak point in Huizhou studies,and the book"Tao Pi Gong Du"has not yet been made full use of by scholars,this article tries to,explore Huizhou’s popular life and social transformation in the late Qing dynasty,from the perspective of social and cultural history,with this book as basic historical evidence and in combination with on-the spot investigation and recently discovered documents about Huizhou.
