A Synthetic Research on Chaoye-Leiyao

宋代后期出版的《朝野类要》虽然被公认为是一部关于宋代行政解释的简明而有用的指南，但一直没有得到很好的研究。2006年1月至2007年1月，我们邀请了张喜庆(北京大学教授)、苗树梅(河南大学教授)和朱瑞希(上海师范大学教授)三位国内知名学者，分别进行了座谈。2006年4月访问北京大学时，我们从文本版本、编者、内容和参考书目等方面进行了进一步的激动人心的讨论。在大学图书馆，我们查阅了《四库全书》(四部文献全书)所依据的原始文献(徽东文集)，在书中发现了大量除徽东文献外，图书馆馆员审阅工作产生的痕迹。我们对中国社会科学院、南京大学、中国国立图书馆和台湾国家中央图书馆的原始印刷文本进行了详细的书目核查。在这些努力下，日本出现了第一本介绍明代《朝野类要》的书。我们的有价值的发现包括一项关于编撰者赵甡的身份的鉴定，他的职业尚未确定。在天日大学出版的《冲边香杯随经》中，我们发现了两个关于他的批判性描述，认为他不是一名官员，而是一名书店老板。我们的研究结果发表在《朝野类药综合研究》的出版物上，这本书包含了330条完整的日语翻译和历史文献注释。

Chaoye-Leiyao, a late Song publication, despite being widely recognized as a compact and useful guide to the interpretation of the Song administration, has not been well studied. Our project aims to reveal more about the compiler and history of this literature, and to compile its translation with annotation.To review and overview China's research situations concerning the study of Chaoye-Leiyao, we invited three leading Chinese scholars, Zhang Xiqing (Professor, Beijing University), Miao Shumei (Professor, Henan University), and Zhu Ruixi (Professor, Shanghai Teachers University) from January 2006 to January 2007, and had discussion sessions respectively.When we visited Beijing University in April 2006, we had further stimulating discussions from extensive viewpoints including text version, compiler, contents, and bibliography. At the university library we gained access to the original (the Hui Dong variorum) on which Siku Quanshu (the complete library in the four branches of literature) text was based, and discovered in the books a significant number of traces resulting from the Library clerks' revisory work besides Hui Dong's. We conducted detailed bibliographical checkup of the primary printed text at Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Nanjing University, National Library of China, and National Central Library in Taiwan. The efforts resulted in the first book to introduce the Ming version of Chaoye-Leiyao to Japan.Our valuable discoveries include one about the identification of the compiler Zhao Sheng, whose occupation had not been determined. In Chong bian xiang bei sui jing, published by Tenri University, we detected two critical descriptions about him and concluded that he was not a government official but a bookstore keeper.The result of our project is reported in the publication of A Synthetic Research on Chaoye-Leiyao, which contains the complete 330 items of Japanese translation and annotation of the historical literature.
