The Textual Study On The Works Written By People In Shaanxi And Gansu Areas In Siku Quanshu

The compilation of SikuQuanshu(四库全书)was a national cultural project,which collected ancient Chinese literature ever written down.From the government to individuals,it made important contributions to the preservation of Chinese cultural classics.Based on the theories and methods of ethnology,philology and history,this paper makes a textual investigation of the writings of scholars in Shaanxi and Gansu in Siku quanshu,from the five basic aspects of the compilation,such as collection,summary writing,description,inventory and prohibition of destruction.At the beginning of the compilation of Siku Quanshu,Shaanxi and Gansu provinces(including the present Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region)were under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu.Therefore,the recruitment work of the Shaanxi and Gansu regions was jointly organized by the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu,the governor of Shaanxi and the Governor of Shaanxi and the Governor of Shaanxi and the Provincial government of Shaanxi and Gansu.The governor of Shaanxi Province bought the copy,other provinces bought the copy,collectors,officials and other private contributions,the Yongle Dadian(永乐大典)collection,the inner government old collection and the manuscript of the six sources constitute the complete picture of Siku Quanshu of Shaanxi and Gansu scholars.In general,the works of scholars in Shaanxi and Gansu in the Siku Book,to a certain extent,represent the academic level of ancient culture in Shaanxi and Gansu,and also reflect the strong local color.This article pays special attention to the different abstracts such as the requisition draft,the prerequisite draft,and the differences between them.From these abstracts,we can know that there are changes in the appraisals of the officials of the four libraries on the works of scholars in Shaanxi and Gansu,some of which reflect a deeper understanding,while some of which are completely opposite.In addition,as an important achievement of the General Catalogue of Siku Quanshu,the discrimination of falsehood also plays a role in the work of scholars in Shaanxi and Gansu.According to certain standards,the works of scholars in Shaanxi and Gansu were recorded in Siku Quanshu.After the editing of the officials of the Siku Library,a new edition of the Siku version was formed.Because of some deletion,consolidation and transcription errors,it was controversial,although it was easier to obtain than other versions.In fact,a series of editing work such as removal and merger of the museum officials have certain principles,and the collation is also very strict.Therefore,the value of the"four databases" needs our objective review.Due to the different time of the book,the contents of this article are also slightly different.There are many reasons why a taptaph of a scholar of Shaanxi and Gansu has been placed on record.Some taptaph is not clear or a very simple taptaph is repeated.The review of the bibliography may not be objective,and some may even be taken out of context from the preamble.Therefore,in the further study and use should be discerned.The prohibition of books is also an important part of the study of the writings of scholars in Shaanxi and Gansu in Siku Quanshu.Although the prohibition of books by local scholars in Shaanxi and Gansu is not much,the banning of books still makes the culture in Shaanxi and Gansu suffer a certain degree of loss.Some of the offending books have been handed down to the present day,and it has been found that some of them are the only works handed down by the authors,which have valuable research value and deserve attention.
