Mo Gold Beads, The Root Of Pueraria Study

Altan Erihe was a historical document composed in 1765,by Lobsangdambijalsan,a reincarnation lama of Urat Banner. Lobsangdambijalsan himself was well talked by the academic world in documental,literary and philosophical aspects although it were staying at surface level,but the historical book Altan Erihe was in the lack of discussion.Under the guidance of instructor and on the basis of precedent academic achievements,The present author make contrasting studies to the editions of Altan Erihe to figure out the changing tracks of editions of Altan Erihe and to analyse and explore into marerial sources of the book and further evaluate it's composition and historiographical characteristics with the help of the methodologies such as document studies,edition studies and historiography.The whole dissertation is of composition of introduction,main body and conclusion,with an attachment of bibliography.Introduction,including 3 subsectsThe title,author and values of the book were talked about in subsect 1.1.This historical book was named as Altan Tob(?)i in all of academic works,but it was wrong in fact.The present author discovered in the result of the contrasts between all of the editions that the manuscript collected in the Library of Inner Mongolia was the earliest and typical one,and it was named as Altan Erihe in the chapterⅡof manuscript.Based on the fact,the present author believes that Lobsangdambijalsan's work was originally entitled as Altan erihe.2.Some researchers were been suspecting that the book's author was Lobsangdambijalsan so far,but the present researcher believes the original author was Lobsangdambijalsan,based on the referrence to precedent research works and further provement.3.Push forward researcher's own opinion about the document values and academic significances of the book.The research history was reviewed in subsectⅡ.The present researcher have divided the researches of Altan Erihe into two stages,—first 1817-1979,second 1980 to today—and analysed and generalized the accomplishments and shortcomings of the either of two stages and pointed out research points and outbreaks of the forthcoming academic work.The research significances and research methodologies were presented in subsectⅢ.ChapterⅠEditions Studies to Altan Erihe,including 3 subsectsThe present chapter is the most important part of this dissertation,and is the inevitable course on the road of Altan Erihe study.Altan Erihe was later on composition time,but host of many kinds of versions they were transmitted broadly in the world.So edition study to the Altan Erihe is the most vital academic assignment.SubsectⅠ,existences of Alan Erihe in the enternal and external.Altan Erihe have 17existences of edition in total,including 12 manuscripts and 5 letterpresses in the world,among these 9 of the manuscripts and 2 of the letterpresses were collected in internal,and the other were in external.Now the present researcher have already had in hand 16 of these editions,except one edition out,and thus took some advantages in material control.SubsectⅡ,contrast studies to the editionsTo distinguish and identify the oldest edition,the researcher have taken great amount of time and effords to contrast and compare the 16 editons and,eventually determinned the edition changes of Altan Erihe. The researcher presented that:(1) the bamboo manuscript in the Library of Inner Mongolia was the oldest one,by 1779;(2) the studies to Altan Erihe were usually based on the ZhanJiaKou letterpressed edition by 1942,but that edition was far more different from the oldest manuscript,becouse it was a text with compilation of and increases and decreases to the manuscript.There were 14 editions familar with this text including 2 letterpresses originated from one manuscript and other 3 letterpresses originated from another manuscript.Due to circulation of this kind of the text,the internal and external academic world take broadly recognization and use of the edition that were reproduced by letterpress tecknology.The other editions of Altan Erihe,exept for the above mentioned editions,were under summerization and compilations on the foundation of the bamboo manuscript,transformed into 13chapters.The bamboo manuscript of Altan Erihe less aroused academic attention all the way,and the summerized edition was not mentioned about at all in research circle.The present researcher have iliustrated out the editional traces of Altan Erihe through contrast one another it's versions:original or copy of the original→bamboo manuscript→compiled editions;compiled editions includes the text with increases and decreases and the summerized ones.On the other hand,generalized out characteristics of the manuscript, letterpresses and other editions on the basis of the contrast and clarification.SubsectⅢ,Studies to the Bamboo ManuscriptMake researches of the manuscripted text from it's contents and writing style to judge out the composition time and book title,and imphasize that the research of the Altan Erihe must take foots on the bamboo manuscript.ChapterⅡMaterial Sources of Altan Erihe,including 3 subsectsStudies to the material sources of the Altan Erihe were not worked out completely.Altan Erihe made broadly uses of the Mongolian,Tibetan and Chinese documents,systhesize and compile materials from different languages to take an outline of the formation of universe,origin of the human,Hindus and Tibetan imperial kinsmen,origin of Mongols,and the lives and great deeds of the Cinggis Qaγan and Qasar,down to the 1765, the author's time,a long course of history of the amount of several thousands years.Among these,the deeds of Cinggis Qaγan and Qasar and genealogy of the three Urat banner were writed in monst details.From all of these contents,the precedent scholars have more in degree imphasyzed the material values of the genealogy of the three Urat banners, the descendents fron the Qasar.But the present researcher thingk that besides from these values,the book also have it's own valuable worths and attention-deserving qualities in exact recordes of the birth and death time of some historic persons and happenings.From intensive reading of the Altan Erihe,it is clear that Lobsangdambijalsan was comprehensive on quotation of materials and strict on the choice.He treated the historical materials with a critical eyes,and on the many examples he marked the sources of materials.We don't talk about the materials are false or true at present,the discussion on sources of some materials in book is feasible, but the others are infeasible,so just leave them for the future.SubsectⅠis Study to the Tibetan materials quoted in the book,with contrasts with Xizang Wang chen ji,Abhidharmakosha,Blue History and Assembled History of the China and Tibet;SubsectⅡis Study to the Chinese materials quoted in the book,with contrast with Shi Ji,Huai Nan Zi,Yuan Shi and San Guo Yan Yi;and the SubsectⅢis Study to the Mongolian materials in the book,with contrast with Erdeni yin Tobci,Caγan Teuke,Sir-a Tuγuji,Altan Tobci by Lobsangdanjin,Altan Tobci,History of the Asaraγci,Altan K(u|¨)rd(u|¨)n Mingγan Kegeges(u|¨)t(u|¨).In contrast,it was used that contrast between terminologies,sentences and phrases to make clear of the material sources of the Altan Erihe.ChapterⅢHistoriographical Characteristics and Thoughts of Altan Erihe,including 2 subsectsIn sunbsectⅠ,made an discussion about the composition characteristics mainly from the contents and style.This book was a genealogical tree of Cinggis Qaγan and Qasar,accuracy of recordes was the main characteristics the compostion.Lobsangdambijalsan not only took broad quotations of different materials,but also made effected clarifications into the historical persons,happenings and times,in which he was distingguished among other histiorians in the past.On the other hand,the specific composition characteristics of this book was an organic synthezation of historical narration and inserted poems,which overwhelmed the past historical works in conposition technology and application of materials.This book was a chronichled historical article,but there were some ciritics and inserted poems in the intervals of the narration.On the composition technics,this book have adopted divisions of chapters and subsects,any of the chapter and subsects had it's integrated contents.This book also illustrated the book names which were quoted in the work and released author's opinion about the historical persons and items,like this,it become a unique and specific historical work with the critics and narration were perfectly connected together.In the subsects made analysis and generalization for the questions of historical idea and imfluences of Altan Erihe.The question of the historical idea of Altan Erihe was never been talked about in the past,but studies to the historical idea of Altan Erihe should include two aspects,in broad speech it refer to the perception of the objective items of history,and in narrow speech it refer to the attitude to the historiographical work.The present researcher made a tentative exploration to hitorical thoughts of the book by analysis to the writing purpose and historical position,and pointed out that the strict attitudes and conscientious technic of Lobsangdambijalsan vividly expressed his historical thoughts,that the combination of narration and criticism demonstrated his historical idea. From the historical position and writing purpose Lobsangdambijalsan that manyfested in ChapterⅠ,we can penetrate into every aspects of material choices and narrative stress in deep,and know the historical attitudes of the author.On the question of the imfluences of Altan Erihe,took Bolor Toli and Altan Erihe as examples,made analysis and discussion about the historical attitudes of the two books and pointed out that Bolor Toli and Altan Erihe had imitated in some degree the Altan Erihe by Lobsangdambijalsan.Seen from that Altan Erihe by Lobsangdambijalsan was an important work on Mongolian historiography.ConclusionIn the conclusion,the reseacher emphasized again the importace of the edition studies of Altan Erihe and characteristics of the bamboo manuscript,and took an smurization of the historiographical and material values and composition style and historical thoughts of Altan Erihe, eventually put forward that Altan Erihe was a book of great importance in the 18century,and that it's historical place should be recogniazed in academic world.
