A Study On SuiShuJingJiZhi's Total Collections

SuiShuJingJiZhi is the main carrier of the old documents in WeiJinNanBeiChao Dysnasty.The Studies about SuiZhi's collections always focus on two fields: one is textual research style in bibliography and the other is thining research about the text.For lacking enough documents the latter's studies are concentrated on WenXuan and YuTaiXinYong secongdly.There is no an integrated study on the whole collections.And this is very disproportional with the collections'prosperous situation,so an embedded and expanded study is repuired immediately.This paper is made up of four parts and have resolved some questions as follows:The first three parts are studying on SuiZhi collections themself. Part one is a brief outline about SuiZhi collections–kind.This part is divided into two chapters and makes the following conclusions: it is formed by history that JiBu represents and records literary documents in traditional catalog.It took a long time for JiBu's forming,from BanGu's ShiFuLve,LIChong's JinYuanDiSiBuShuMu,WangJian'sWenHanZhi to RuanXiaoXu's WenJiLu.The apperence of WenZhangLiuBieJi(compiled by ZhiYu) and JiBu(while LiangYuanDi) also play a very important part to JiBu's established in bibliography.The kind of Collections is part of JiBu and have a close relationship with JiBu's nature and range. SuiZhi merged QiLu's ZongJi section and ZaWen section into one collection kind.But books in it aren't all collections.The collection–kind is unsorted because of its numerous and jumbled in embodying and the disorder of arrangement.Part two is the study on SuiZhi's idea about collections.We considers that how to look upon total collection and its kind reflects the compilation idea of SuiZhi.WenZhangLiuBieJi by ZhiYu, the dynasty of XiJin , is praised by its examples. SuiZhi sets rules for the following periods. But the number of the total collections like WenZhangLiuBieJi, which is compiled according different styles and contains not only selections but also comments on the selections, is just a small part in Suizhi. Obviously, the significance of appreciating Wenzhangliiubieji is not to deny the collections except it the total collection. Many collections including the same style are also total collection. There are only differences between good and bad style, and not the debate on total collection. That is the basic opinion of Suizhi.SuiZhi conflates QiLu's ZongJi-kind and ZaWen-kind but remains the name of Qilu.Clearly it use the name of"collection"as the outline, not the real total collection.Collection has a wide meaning. So it is connected widely and diversely. The nature of SuiZhi's total collection kind can be found in the summary of"the total collection kind records divided articles by time and style"in TangLiuDian.Part three mainly studies the compiling of the collections in SuiZhi.This part is divided into three chapters.The first chapter is about the forming of collections.The book of songs and ChuCi are generally considered as total collections, but they are meaningless towards the research of the total collection's formation. And conscious total collection starts from the dynasty of WeiJin. Total collection is a kind of compilation style , which is contrast with diverse collection and not limited by literature. According to the outline of Suizhi, previous total collections are mostly organized by styles. So there are single-style total collection and plural-style total collections. The former one is formed earlier because of practice. While the latter one , to some extent, follows the tradition of the former one . Both of them is in the condition of the distinguish of styles. The writers of HouHanSu's outline describe separately according to styles, which inspires the compilation of single-style collection. WenZhangLiuBieJi is a model of the formation of total collection. Zhang XueCheng's WenShiTongYi·WenJi is of great value. The second chapter mainly discusses the compilers and their periods.We put all the collections that their compilers and periods are known in order. So we can grasp the developing conditions in history.Concretly speaking,WeiJin is the occurring period and in LiuSong period people's enthusiasm at compiling ran high.During this period,Liu Yiqing had compiled a huge collection with 200 volumes. And the phenomenon that one compiled a few collections and many persons compiled the same titled collections happened commonplacely. In the following QiLiang period, Basic character on compiling is the close relationship with literature groups. XiaoTong's compiled the famous WenXuan and YuTaiXinYong is the product of XiaoGang's. As a whole,the Northern Dynasty fell down to the Southern Dynasty.Then we classify the compilers into three kind according to their identity.People who have diffent identities often compiled in thousands ways.The third chapter dwells on the patterns of the collections.The pattern here is the face of a collection after its completed and not points its style merely. Collecting or selecting, with preface or without,with comments or not,many or few volumes are all belonged to the category of the pattern–studying. According to SuiZhi,there are two basic patterns while compiling during WeiJinNanBeiChao periods: arranging with styles or with comments. Then arranging with styles is the main stream of compiling. Among those, here still are two kinds: multimer and monomer. Fortunately, WenXuan and YuTaiXinYong which are the only two extant collections are very fit for these two kinds. WenXuan is multimer and YuTaiXinYong is monomer. So these two collections provides our studying with enormous conveniency.But we didn't say that studying based on these two is enough.We should make a reference to other collections even though they are scattered and few. Then we research into every collection's pattern.WenXuan,YuTaiXinYong,LiChong's HanLinLun, LiuYiQing'sJiLin, KongWan'sWenYuan, XiaoYuanSu's WenHai,XiaoShu'sXiFuXinWen are all in. Finally we draw the conclusion that collections at early stage are always selected and having a very close connection with style. Certainly there are still other patterns besides those. These patterns fundamentally setteled all factors of collections–compiling afterworld.And all kinds of patterns afterworld spring this period.Part four is researching the change of collection afterworld and is divided into three chapters.The first chapter is researching the change of collection pattern and mainly concentrated on the connection between the general trend and cultural background. For instance, the collection of Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty, Meng and Yuan Dynasty, Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty. The collection of each dynasty has its own traits and is connected with certain cultural development. One type of collection has some deep background. The general development of collection is due to the mixed effect of many factors.The second chapter is research on the change of collection view. Qi Lu, Sui Zhi, SiKuQuanShuZongMu should be researched if we want to research on collection. Sui Zhi introduced professional collection into the field of collection, which is the breakthrough of QiLu. SiKuQuanShuZongMu can be divided into two types. The second one is based on the consciousness of study and is different from the collection of Liu Dynasty. That is one aspect of collection change. Besides, The change of collection perspective can be seen form each dynasty's articles. SiKuQuanShuZongMu is the masterpiece of all talents of Qing Dynasty and can represent the collection view of that times. That is to say, in Qing Dynasty ,people has views on collection which is the same as Sui Zhi. The present view of collection is influenced by WuSi cultural campaign .It is the result of pure cultural view. The collection view represented by Sui Zhi and Si Ku is based on the cultural view of traditional China.The third chapter is to research the pattern change of collection, using the WenXuan–kind as an example.
