论李宗昉摘编《百苗图》的得失

《百苗图》是清代中叶贵州八寨理苗同知陈浩编绘而成的一部贵州民族志总汇，具有很高的资料价值和艺术鉴赏价值。李宗防对陈浩原本的字说解部分进行了编，并收藏于《黔记》一书中，对保存、传播珍贵的民族志资料作出了有益的贡献。但由于李宗防对陈浩所记的内容缺乏真实体验，对田雯《黔书》和陈浩《百苗图》的编排体例未能很好地融会贯通，加之编时过分追求从字顺、简洁典雅，因而出现了曲解原意、丢失珍贵资料、误解陈浩编排意图等重大失误。

The Merit and Demerit of Li Zong-fang's Excerpts from A Picture of Ethnic Miaos

Having highly qualified material and valuable art, A Picture of Ethnic Miaos is a collection of records of Guizhou's ethnic minorities compiled and painted by Chen Hao who was a provincial officer responsible for the management of ethnic Miaos in the middle of Qing Dynasty.Li Zong fang selected and edited the written contents of Chen Hao' work and then incorporated his extracts into Tian Wen' A Narrative of Qian .By doing so Li Zong fang had made beneficiary contribution to the preservation and spread of valuable ethnic record materials.However,because of lacking personal experience of the life described in Chen's book,and without full understanding of the formats and styles in both Tian and Chen's books,and seeking for plain and concise words,he made many errors in his extracts,including misconception,loss of valuable materials and misunderstanding of Chen Hao's purpose of compilation and arrangement.
