A Study On The Collection Of Hunan Articles In Qing Dynasty

With the rise of regional literature research,the research of regional collection has gradually become the focus.As an important branch of the regional collection,the collection of Hunan articles in Qing Dynasty is abundant in quantity and various in types.It contains rich historical documents and has important literary value,historical value and cultural value.However,from the existing research results,the related discussions mainly focus on case analysis,and lack of overall cleaning and systematic research.This paper takes Hunan article collection of Qing Dynasty as the research subject,according to the nature and content of the text,divides it into four categories: Province,county,clan and art.It not only discusses the formation,development and change of all kinds of collections under the background of the times,but also probes into the literary and cultural connotation contained in them with reference to the specific collection text.On the whole,the collection of Hunan articles in Qing Dynasty has a distinctive compilation background,evolution process and distribution characteristics.The emergence and development of the collected works are closely related to the political,cultural and regional academic thoughts of Hunan in the Qing Dynasty.Driven by these factors,the collection of Hunan articles started in the Song Dynasty and developed in the Ming Dynasty,and entered the peak period of compilation in the Qing Dynasty.This is mainly reflected in the substantial increase in the number,the diversification of compilation forms,the general grandiosity of volumes,and the gradual construction of a clear category and level of compilation style.From the perspective of geographical distribution,the spatial distribution of the collection of Hunan articles in Qing Dynasty is basically the same as the development of Hunan region,but it shows different characteristics and connotations when it is refined into the text of the collection.Hunan Wenzheng,compiled by Luo Ruhuai in Xiangtan,is a collection of local articles covering Hunan Province from the Yuan Dynasty to the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty.Its compilation originated from the unique regional humanistic and academic environment of Hunan in the late Qing Dynasty,and also rooted in Luo Ruhuai's own literary quality.From the stylistic point of view,Hunan Wenzheng has distinct compilation characteristics,which are mainly reflected in four aspects:first,reflecting the regional concept of "Hunan";second,considering the arrangement of time sequence and style;third,integrating the concept of preserving history with literature;fourth,following the compilation style of not recording people.From the content point of view,Hunan Wenzheng is comprehensive and full of content,which has important reference value in the collection,collation,textual research and the writing of the history of Hunan studies.Although the region involved in the collection is not as good as the provincial text,it can highlight the literary and cultural characteristics of the places below the province.To a large extent,it benefited from the compilation of local chronicles,and the development and maturity of "grass roots literature" provided a material basis for the compilation of county texts.The appearance of the collection is mainly influenced by the status of the editor,the source of the selected articles and the arrangement of the style.The status and knowledge base of editors restrict their compilation activities,which is not only related to the wide and narrow sources of selected articles and the smooth process of text printing,but also related to the style arrangement after material collection.The arrangement of the text style of the collection not only determines the final appearance of the collection,but also reflects the editor's compiling thinking.At the same time,the collection of counties and cities is the carrier of local literature,which has great value of local literature.It can not only preserve the memory of regional culture,but also contribute to the construction of literary history and the excavation of literary theory.There are many collections of clan articles,which show the continuity and spread of clan.It is no accident that it flourished in the Qing Dynasty.Objectively speaking,the compilation of genealogy in Qing Dynasty can not be separated from the driving force,but the decisive role is the compilation motive and intention held by the compilers.The compilation of the collection of clan articles is characterized by private publication,rigorous style arrangement and complicated writing forms.Generally speaking,the naming includes such elements as region,surname,hall name,room name,etc.Going deep into the specific content of the clan anthology is the link to construct the literary family.Through a certain degree of literature accumulation and inheritance,each clan has evolved into a literary family,and with the collection of clan literature as the medium of communication,the family tradition has been shaped and presented.In the process of the generation and development of family studies and the publicity and development of family voice,the literary aristocratic family was constructed.Part of the collection of clan articles,such as the four volumes of Mo Ru Lou Shi Yi He Gao and Jing Zhi Zhai Wen Chao,show the dual meaning of clan and Ke Yi,and reflect the particularity of clan texts.There are a large number of collections of articles on the subject art,which are mainly divided into the subject art of examiners and the subject art of academies.The course art of scholars is mainly compiled by local officials,while the course art of academies depends on the collection of the head of the mountain or the teachers.The collection of articles on the subject art intuitively shows the style of Huxiang imperial examination.In the proposition of scientific examination,it not only pays attention to the "ancient learning" mainly based on the classics and history,but also pays attention to the "new learning" of current affairs.At the same time,it reflects the aesthetic fashion of halal elegance.Class art review is an important part of the class art collection.The content of the review is detailed or brief,and its characteristics are mainly reflected in three aspects: First,it contains reason;Second,reveal the method of writing;Third,the style of critical literature.In a word,the collection of Hunan articles in Qing Dynasty is an important part of the regional collection.The in-depth study and discussion of it will not only contribute to the construction of Hunan literature,but also be of great significance to the comprehensive development of regional literature research.
