Editing Local Chronicle: A Good Tradition of Chinese Civilization

编修地方志是我们中华民族文化中一个优良的传统。方志起源于两汉之地记,隋唐五代之图经是方志发展的第二阶段,宋代方志进入定型成熟阶段,清代是我国封建时代修志事业的全盛时期。新中国建立后新修志书体现了时代精神,体例上也形成了新的志书体裁,并且还将向前发展。

One of the good traditions of Chinese culture is to edit the local chronicle which originated from the Diji in the Western and Eastern Han period and Tujing from Sui Dynasty to the Five Reigns Period was the second stage. Till the dynasty of Song, the editing of local chronicle became mature and the dynasty of Qing was its golden age. The local chronicles edited after the foundation of new China showed the spirit of the time when the new patterns were formed on the editing styles.
