清代甘肃河西走廊方志修纂可分为顺治、康熙时的因循期,雍正至道光时的繁荣期,以及光绪、宣统时的蜕变期。清代河西方志具有两个显著特点:一是在繁荣期相继修成的《重修肃州新志》《五凉全志》与《甘州府志》等府州志,《敦煌县志》《玉门县志》等县志,都非常突出地体现了雍、乾时期平定准部、控制新疆的国家战略和文化取向,并在编纂动机、体例和内容上,留下了鲜明的烙印;二是清代河西方志修纂中普遍重视水利灌溉及上下游地区争夺水资源的博弈,保留了相对丰富的水利文献,并且往往成为官府、地方等裁决“水案”的重要依据,因而志书编纂者的地方立场与客观公正之间的矛盾,往往影响志书的可信程度及其在地方博弈中的作用。这些作为全局性与地方性的双重原则,都需要引起当今地方志编纂的高度重视。 The compilation of local records of Gansu Hexi Corridor in Qing Dynasty can be divided into periods of Shunzhi and Kangxi, periods of prosperity from Yongzheng to Daoguang, and periods of transformation of Guangxu and Xuan Tong. The Qing Dynasty Hexi Local Records has two notable features. First, it has been rebuilt in the prosperous period, such as “rebuild Suzhou New Records” “Wu Liang Zhi” and “Ganzhou Prefecture” and other prefectures, “Dunhuang County” “Yumen County Records ”and other county chines all highlighted the national strategic and cultural orientation of controlling peace in Yong and Qian, and left a distinctive mark on compiling motivation, style and content. Secondly, The compilation of local records generally emphasizes water conservancy and irrigation and the competition for water resources in the upper and lower reaches of the country. It retains relatively abundant water conservancy documents, and often becomes an important basis for the ruling by the government and the local authorities. Therefore, The contradiction between local stance and objective fairness often affects the credibility of the book and its role in the local game. These dual principles, both global and local, need to draw much attention to the compilation of local chronicles today.
