目录类著作以“经史子集”为部类名称始于《隋书·经籍志》,这一观点被作为目录学常识为学界普遍接受,但此说仍值得商榷。《隋书·经籍志》“经部”“史部”“子部”“集部”的部类名称源于南北朝时已深入人心的“经史子集”的书籍分类观念,并极有可能直接袭自魏征于贞观年间所编的“贞观目”。今人对此问题的错误认识在于,把“现存最早”混同于“首次”。 The catalog class work begins with “Sui Shu · Jing Zhi Zhi” with the class name of “History Subset ”. This view is generally accepted as a dichotomy by the academic community, but this is still debatable. The names of the categories of “Sui Shu Jing Jing Zhi”, “Department”, “Department of History”, “Department”, “Department” are from the books of “Historical Subset” which have been popular in Northern and Southern Dynasties Classification concept, and most likely directly from the Wei Zheng Zhenguan years compiled by the “Zhenguan”. Today’s false understanding of this issue lies in the confusion of “the oldest existing ” with “first time ”.
