關於清詩話的整理與研究: 從吳宏一的「清代詩話考述」研究計劃說起

Shihua of the Qing Dynasty is historically cited by literature critics, yet it was not until recently that Shihua of the Qing Dynasty has been researched and arranged in order. Wu Hung I （1973） published a catalogue of Shihua of the Qing Dynasty with all the information that could be obtained in Taiwan in that year. In 1995, Cai Zhen Chu, Zhang Yin Peng and Jiang Yin compiled their individual publications of catalogues of Shihua, including book collections in Mainland China and Taiwan which are quite comprehensive. From 1999 to 2005, Wu was in charge of a research project entitled ＇Shihua of the Qing Dynasty： Documentation and Critical Studies＇, compiling different versions and editions of Shihua of the Qing Dynasty as well as the location of their archives. Wu also invited scholars from different places to write abstracts on Shihua. The author has been involved in the project and thus from this he draws his experience, having gained ideas about the methods and attitudes towards compiling the shihua of the Qing Dynasty. This paper also gives response to the criticisms given by Cai, Zhang and Jiang conchiding that this type of work requires the effort of many different people. Notice should be taken of the different schools of Shihua catalogues as to which come first and which come later so as to trace their development. Regarding the documentation of Sshihua of the Qing Dynasty, researchers should avail themselves of the research of others in order to benefit from it so as to get better results, at the same time citing the sources.
