略論中古子籍的整理－－從嚴可均的工作談起

An Outline Discussion of Past Studies on the Works of Medieval Masters and Philosophers Beginning with the Work of Yan Kejun

中古子學仍盛，子籍為數亦不少，然而長期以來亡佚情形嚴重。唐人所知見有百餘種，明人所知僅六十餘種，所見更僅有其半。清代乾、嘉以下，輯佚之學大盛，學者盛稱馬國翰之《玉函山房輯佚書》及王謨、黃奭、王仁俊之書。至於嚴可均《全上古三代秦漢三國六朝文》，群視為集部總集，對於其輯佚、釐辨、整理、詮評中古子籍的貢獻，則尚未給予足夠的重視。本文主要藉由嚴可均的工作，討論中古子籍整理的資藉、方法、方向、視野等問題，並特別強調唐人所編《群書治要》、《意林》二書的重要文獻價值，並延伸介紹涉及中古子學研究的清代學者如周廣業、黃以周、譚獻、劉咸炘等人的工作。

Although most scholars view Van Kejun's 嚴可均 ”Quan shanggu sandai qinhan sangio liuhao wen” (全上古三代秦漢三國六朝文 Complete Works of the Three Dynasties of Antiquity. Qin and Han Eras, Three Kingdoms, and Six Dynasties) as an anthology of belle-lettres集部, it value in tracing, identifying, and cataloguing medieval period masters and philosophers' works is under-appreciated. This paper draws mainly upon Yan's work to discuss the collection and cataloguing of medieval masters and philosophers' works. while emphasizing the documentary value of ”Qunshu zhiyao”群書治要 and ”Yilin”意林, two other works compiled in the Tang dynasty, and also touching upon the work of several Qing scholars in this area.
