| Block-printed edition of Thirteen Classics Notation was written by Ruan Yuan and published by Nanchang Government Edition of Jiangxi province in the21st year of Jia Qing Period in Qing Dynasty. Through Zhu Hualin’s collation in the6th year of Dao Guang Period and the revision of Jiangxi Press in the12th year of Tong Zhi Period, this edition was greatly improved and became popular from then on. However, during the process of spreading, Ruan’s edition developed into three different systems based on Nanchang Government Edition, collating edition of Dao Guang Period and revising edition of Jiangxi Press. The edition of World Press photo-printed by China Press belonged to the collating system of Dao Guang Period. Through the comprehensive comparison of the three spreading systems, it can be seen that the edition of Jiangxi Press is the best.Based on Rites Notation published by China Press in1980, the thesis completely collates the revising edition of Jiangxi Press in the12th year of Tong Zhi Period and refers to the available block-printed edition of Ruan. Then the notes of collation is classified and the important points are chosen to modify the inappropriate notation existed in Rites Notation published by China Press. Thus some reference is provided for the usage of Ruan’s edition and classical literature.From the viewpoint of collation, some example collation exists in block-printed edition of Ruan; the change of the original edition in other editions. Therefore, the processing of Ruan’s Notes of Collation is not strict "government version with notes of collation attached". From the process of edition’s spreading, during the development of block-printed edition of Ruan, the collation signs of partial spreading edition lost the original flavor. In the original block-printed edition of Ruan, not all the collation markers are circle or solid triangle; while in the other spreading editions the collation markers are placed right under the waiting to be corrected and arguable words. |
