A Study of the documents of Nakagawa in Bungo

1.明治时代前半期编纂的中贺和文献目录是不完善的。对这份清单的仔细研究清楚地表明，相当一部分文件，特别是那些来自现代早期的文件，已经丢失。然而，它也表明，相当一部分关于Nakagawas附庸的文件已经被保存下来，只有少数缺失，这对汇编附庸文件数据库是一个有利的情况。此外，世纪初中川家族进行的地主功业整理工程所收集的文献，相当一部分得以保存，使中川家族文献的全貌得以复原。对以缩微胶片形式收集的封臣文件的分析清楚地表明了以下事实。(1)一个收集的docunents的上诸侯（“Shosideifu”） ...更多信息 是在近代早期中期，即世纪的天明时代，在藩主家族--中川家族实施地主成就计划的同时，由就读于藩补学校的藩补士编撰而成。封臣的文书由主要家臣进一步整理。(2)上封文书（《正司经府》）的编纂，正是在封建领主与封臣关系确立的时期。每一个诸侯都被授予一定数量的爵位（“Shosibangou”），这有助于维持诸侯之间的和谐，世袭谱系（“Fudai-monbatsu-kashin”）位于其顶端，这是一种独立于由封地和政治职位决定的等级制度。(3)从对“近禄”文书的分析可以看出，“近禄”文书的编纂时期，正是宗族制度重组、地主对宗族政治进行全面改革、下臣参与宗族政治的时期。我已经整理并出版了一份目录，其中包括已经整理好的1500件中贺原的文件。由于经费的限制，我不得不放弃编纂和出版诸侯文献的想法，虽然他们的部分数据库已经准备好了。然而，我曾经发表过一份关于近代早期上层诸侯组织原则的资料，作为参考。对这些数据的分析和分析的阐述是我今后的任务。少

1. An imperfect catalog if the documents of the Nakagawas was compiled in the first half of the Meiji era. A close study of the list has made it clear that a considerable part of the documents, especially those coming from the beginning if the early modern age, has been lost. It has, however, also made it clear that a considerable part of the documents concernig the vassels of the Nakagawas has been preserved, with minor missings, which is a favorable situation for conpiling the database of the documents of the vassels. In addition, considerable part of the docunents which were collected by the Landlord Achievements Editing Project carried out by the Nakagawa family at the beginning of the 19th century has been kept, making it possible to restore the shole picture of the Nakagawas' documents.2. An analysis of the documents of the vassels, which were collected in the form of microfilms, has made the following facts clear. (1) A collection of docunents of the upper vassels ("Shosideifu") … More was compiled by the clan bushis studing in the clan bushi school in the middle of the early modern age, that is in the Tnmei era at the of the 18th century, at the same time when the Landlord Achievement Projectwas carried out by the family of the Lord, the Nakagawas. The documents of the vassels were farther compoled by the chief retainers. (2) Documents of the upper vassels ("Shosikeifu") were compiled just at the tine when feudal relations between the Land lord and vassels were established. Every vassel was awarded a number of order ("Shosibangou"), which served to maintain the jierarchy of the vassels with the hereditry pedigrees("Fudai-monbatsu-kashin") at its top, a hierarchy which was independent of the order decided by the measure of the fiefs and thepolitical positions. (3) The time when documents of the vassels("Shosikeifu") were compiled was exactly the time when the clan system was reorganized, the Landlord carried out a overrall reform in the clan politics and when lower vassels were involved into the politics of the clan, as is clearly shown by the asalysis of the documents of the lower vassels("Kinroku").3. I have vompiled and published a catlogue of the documents of the Nakagawas already put in order amounting to 1500 items. Ihave to give up the idea of compiling and publishing the documents of the vassels because of the limit of the budget, though some part of the databasa of them has already been prepared. I have, however, published as a refernce a data concerning the principles of the organization of the upper vassels in the middle of the early modern age. The anslysis of these data and the elaboration of the analysisi is the task of mine in the future. Less
