In the second year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty (1629), 30 volumes. Edited by Li Weizhen. ? Li Weizhen (1547 ~ 1626) was born in Jingshan, Huguang. Qin Long Zhongjinshi, awarded by Jishi Shu, moved to assistant minister of the Ministry of Finance in Wanli, and became Shanxi provincial judge at the end of 10,000. After Wei Zhen took office, he felt that Shanxi had not compiled a chronicle for another 50 years since Jia Jingzhi, so he "urged Confucian scholars to compile Shanxi Tongzhi for personal evaluation". About forty-four years of Wanli (16 16), after the manuscript was published, it was promoted to the history of Nanjing rites department, and the chronicle was not published. After a lapse of more than ten years, Zhu Hui, the new governor of Shanxi Province, prefaced Fu Zi in the second year of Chongzhen (1629) and entered the book in the forty-second year of Wanli (16 14). There are many mistakes in the description of this chronicle in later generations: in the sixth series of China Local Records Series (1982) and the existing Japanese Local Records of Song and Ming Dynasties in China, it is written as "compiled by Zhu Hui"; In the catalogue of local chronicles of Shanghai Library, it is obviously wrong to record "thirty years of Wanli revision". ? Wanli Shanxi Tongzhi has 30 volumes and 20 subheadings. The title of the article is: volume one, textual research; The second volume, the evolution of institutions (including territory); Volume 3, Hoshino; Volume four to volume five, mountains and rivers (with canal weir bridge); Volume VI, Customs; Volume 7, products; Volume 8, land tax (with salt policy); Volume 9, accounts; Volume 10, shrine worship; Volume 11, feudalism; Volume 12, official (attached to the office); Volume 13, Schools (affiliated colleges); Volume 14, Monuments (with Mausoleum); Volume 15, the emperor (the virgin, queen, saint); Volumes 16 to 17, famous ministers; Volumes 18 to 20, characters (loyalty and filial piety, chivalry, overseas Chinese accommodation, women); Volume 2 1-23, Elections (with recommendations); Volume 24, armament (attachment, border, city, wasteland, Ma Zheng); Volume 25, armament (soldiers and border affairs); Volumes 26-27, Magazine; Volumes 28-30, Wen Yi. The book is about 165438+ million words. ? It is a textual research of records and a picture, including nine pictures of Shanxi provincial capital, Taiyuan mansion, Pingyang mansion, Datong mansion, Lu 'an mansion, Fenzhou, Liaozhou, Zezhou and Qinzhou. Wenzhi narrates each province, then the government, and reaches the county. Like Chenghua and Jiajing, Zhizhi still attaches great importance to military defense. During the period from Chenghua to Jiajing, the Ming government built the Great Wall many times, and only Shanxi built the "side wall" in 9 10, which is a concrete manifestation of ambition. ? Wanli annals are the continuation of Chenghua edition and Jiajing edition. The arrangement of the three chronicles is basically the same, which is the main feature of chronicles. Its record of geographical situation is more specific than the previous two chronicles, and many records were selected by Gu in the early Qing Dynasty. For example, Volume 24 of Record of Military Equipment Uploads: "Protect Fan 12, the great river in the east, the defense for Yang, and the Shuoning; Shenchi, Dashuikou and Huimin are in the north; Huanghualing in the northwest is a mud shed and a righteous well; Wen Ning in the west and Ermaying in the west; To the southwest is Xizhen. And Wen Ning is actually a glimpse of Ningwu to take the risk of Shaanxi. " Another example is "Piantouguan, with eight castles in ten, and Mazhan, Baliushu and Laoying in the east; Northeast is a small camp, a water spring; Is the North the dominant position? It is talc flow; To the west are Hualin, Louziying, luoquan, Yangmian, Tang Jiahui, Wuhuaying, Made and Huigou; South is Yongxing; Southeast octagonal forest director, etc. These are all cherished by Gu. Zhi Zhi also reflected the configuration of these earthen castles in detail, saying that "earthen castles are built according to the risks in the mountains ... officials have ambitions, scholars have camps, and barnyard grass is salty. ..... A fortress of one hundred men, which one thousand men cannot attack. In each fortress, the person who chooses talents is the captain, and the second one is the captain. The captain of the fortress can be controlled by the captain, and the captain can control the crowd. There are eleven people in each team, odd and even in each team. One party is in a hurry, and three parties need help. Make more guns, flying guns, Franco machines and so on and distribute them to the fortress. "Such an account is not unknown. It can be seen that the information content of Wanli Annals is very strong, so Kangxi's Shanxi Annals spoke highly of this annals and praised it as a "loyal book". ? In the second year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty (1629), only Shanxi Provincial Museum had a complete edition. Beijing Library has a collection of scrap, copies and movies. All originals, copies and films of Shanxi provincial historical records research. ?
