中国地方志是中国文献的一大积存,它具有历史长、传承久、层次全、数量大等特点,是最足以反映全国各地地情的参考和依据。它的社会功能是资治、教化、存世,而以资治居首,这已为志界所共识。地方官到任读志一事至清似已成为官员莅任必须履行的规定,但一直未能追寻到文字出处。近日读到一部名为《新编吏治悬镜》的书,是清乾隆时人徐文弼所编刻,傅梦熊、涂丛桂二人参订,徐的八个儿子参与校字。 Chinese local history is a large accumulation of Chinese literature. It has the characteristics of long history, long tradition, full hierarchy and large quantity. It is the most adequate reference and basis for reflecting the feelings of the people all over the country. Its social function is to govern, enlightenment, survival of the world, but in order to top government funding, it has been for the industry consensus. The fact that local officials hold the position of reading Chi-chih-hui has become a requirement that officials must be honored but has not been able to trace the source. Recently read a book called “New Officials Fixing the Mirror” book, written by Xu Wenbi, a member of the Qing Emperor Qianlong, Fu Mengxiong and Tu Conggui, two ginseng seniors, and Xu’s eight sons participated in the school character.
