Research On The Literature Cited In Guangzhiy

Wang Shixing was the greatest human geographer in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.He wrote many travel notes such as Guangzhi Yi,Wuyue Youcao and Guangyou Zhi,and made great achievements in the field of human geography.Among them,Guangzhiyi,the most outstanding achievement,has high research value in geography,culture and philology.Guangzhiyi is a reminiscent travel literature,which fully and accurately records the mountains and rivers,passes,properties,taxes,customs and ethnic relations of the motherland,and integrates Wang Shixing’s own understanding and judgment of the shape of the mountains and rivers of the motherland,which is always shining with the light of humanistic geography.In this national geography notebook,Wang Shixing narrated his travel experience and interspersed a large number of documents.The author extracts and sorts out a large number of documents and materials cited in Guangzhiyi one by one,proofreads them with the original text of the cited documents,classifies the original classics according to the four part classification method,and analyzes the position,source and function of the cited documents in Guangzhiyi in turn.Finally,it presents the characteristics of many citation types,wide content coverage and high citation frequency.In the process of making Guangzhiyi,Wang Shixing referred to many documents and materials.After classifying and counting these materials,the results were concentrated in the history department and sub department,and the materials of the classics department were very few.Moreover,Wang Shixing widely used the documents of the classics department and sub department as the documents and materials of the history department,which confirmed that Wang Shixing had the historical thought of "all six classics are history" put forward by later Zhang Xuecheng.Wang Shixing can widely apply these documents to the text of travel notes to blend with the text of travel notes,which is inseparable from Wang Shixing’s individual knowledge structure,book text composition and unique geographical writing.Based on the characteristics of documents cited in Guangzhiyi,we can explore the relationship between Wang Shixing’s knowledge structure and geographical writing,and then analyze the reasons for the formation of this knowledge structure and geographical writing.The characteristics of Wang’s individual knowledge structure can be constructed from five aspects: Wang’s life,Wang’s academic background,Zhejiang Academy Education,imperial examination system and the influence of scholars in the same period.The exploration of Wang Shixing’s individual knowledge structure makes the text composition of Guangzhiyi show three characteristics: careful scientific research materials,rich cultural associations and mutual understanding of historical reality.As a travel literature,Guangzhiyi’s geographical writing is different from other travel literature.This uniqueness is jointly created by Wang Shixing’s individual knowledge structure and his thought of book text composition.It still has great literary value outside geography.In the process of combing Wang Shixing’s literature cited in Guangzhiyi,we can construct Wang Shixing’s individual knowledge structure and book text composition,explore Wang Shixing’s literature vision,and find the neglected philological value,cultural value and humanistic geographical value of Guangzhiyi.
